Dear Sylvia,

Thank you for inviting me to the summer house. I will be very glad to come. I hear the swimming is nice on the coast where you are and that they have an area fenced off in the ocean for safe swimming. (I am afraid of sharks)

I agree the sun and the salt water is good for health.

Who are the people who own the house? It sounds like a perfect job. You mentioned they have a huge library of books. That will give you time to study and write. I will bring the books I am working on at the moment. I have been going through a very rough patch with my writing all the month. I cannot seem to put down enough words, where I used to be creating 500-1000 a day I am now struggling to reach 300 or so. It rained here where I am and it is starting to get cold so I will be very glad to be in the warm weather with you.

I cannot wait to bicycle to town with you. The place sounds very nice, how far is the ride? sixteen kilometers each way? Good ride. Swimming, bicycling, eating at that restaurant in the bay, shopping in the farmers market and endless books. I am very glad to know you.

I will write again tomorrow and I will see you next week.

love, David
