I'M WRITING THIS LETTER VERY SLOWLY,BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN'T READ FAST.
WE DON'T LIVE WHERE WE DID WHEN YOU LEFT HOME.YOUR DAD READ IN THE NEWS PAPER THAT MOST ACCIDENTS HAPPEN 20 MILES FROM HOME,SO WE MOVED 20 MILES AWAY.I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEND THE ADDRESS OF THIS PLACE,AS THE LAST SARDAR FAMILY WHO STAYED HERE TOOK THE HOUSE NUMBER WITH HIM FOR THEIR NEW HOUSE ,SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS.
THIS PLACE IS REALLY NICE.IT EVEN HAS A WASHING MACHINE,SITUATED RIGHT ABOVE THE COMMODE.I'M NOT SURE IT WORKS TOO WELL.LAST WEEK I PUT IN 3 SHIRTS,PULLED THE CHAIN & HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE.
THE WEATHER HERE ISN'T TOO BAD.IT RAINED ONLY TWICE LAST WEEK.THE FIRST IT RAINED FOR 3 DAYS & SECOND TIME FOR 4 DAYS.
THE COAT YOU WANTED ME TO SEND YOU,YOUR AUNT SAID IT WOULD BE LITTLE TOO HEAVY TO SEND IN THE MAIL WITH ALL THE METAL BUTTONS,SO WE CUT THEM OFF & PUT IN THE POCKET.
YOUR FATHER HAS ANOTHER JOB.HE HAS 500 MEN UNDER HIM.HE IS CUTTING THE GRASS AT THE CEMENTERY.
YOUR SISTER HAD A BABY THIS MORNING.AS YET I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S A GIRL OR BOY,SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE AN AUNT OR AN UNCLE.
YOUR UNCLE,JATINDER,FELL IN A NEARBY WELL .SOME MEN TRIED TO PULL HIM OUT,BUT HE FOUGHT THEM OFF BRAVELY & DROWNED.WE CREMATED HIM& HE BURNED FOR THREE DAYS.
YOUR BEST FRIEND,BALWINDER,IS NO MORE.HE DIED TRYING TO FULFILL HIS FATHER'S LAST WISHES.HIS FATHER HAD WISHED TO BE BURIED IN THE SEA AFTER HE DIED.AND YOUR FRIEND DIED WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF DIGGING A GRAVE FOR HIS FATHER.
THER ISN'T MUCH MORE NEWS THIS MORNING.
NOTHING MUCH HAS HAPPENED.
LOVE;
MOM.
P.S: I WAS GOING TO SEND YOU SOME MONEY BUT THE ENVELOP WAS ALREADY CLOSED.
