I can say that you are still my best friend. I miss you so much! We were such great friends in childhood. You were five and I was six then. You were a pretty little girl, with brown eyes and long dark hair. We often played together. By the way, you had very good manners.

I have a good friend in America, too. His name is Sam. He is my schoolmate. He is a kind and jolly boy, with big brown eyes and curly black hair. Sam and I like to play baseball*. Frankly speaking, I learnt to play this game from him. He knows about our friendship and says hello to you. Please write to me soon.

Yours,

Nick.
