Dear Mr. Henshaw,

Here we go again. Time to answer some more questions.

4. Where do you live?

After the divorce Mom and I moved from Bakersfield to Pacific Grove which is on California’s central coast about twenty miles from the sugar refinery. Mom said all the time she was growing up in California’s Great Central Valley she longed for a few ocean breezes, and now we’ve got them. We’ve got a lot of fog, especially in the morning. There aren’t any crops around here, just golf courses for rich people. We live in a little house, a really little house, that used to be somebody’s summer cottage a long time ago. Now it is what they call a garden cottage.

Sincerely,

Leigh Botts

Published ExampleDear Uncle, Another week has passed, but life is no calmer here. I’ve been thinking. If Mr. Beethoven were to leave, surely we could find someone nice to live upstairs. The rooms are large, and Father’s patients always talked about the view of the river. Father used to carry me down to the riverbank on his shoulders, even down the steep part right behind home. I think that of all the places in the house, I like outside best. I can be alone there and get away from all the noise inside. But on this day even the stray dog outside was making his pitiful voice heard.

Yours truly,Christoph
