亲爱的简:
如果您7月24日没有什么活动安排,我期望您和弗雷德能同我们一齐在远庄园共度周末,那里已经鲜花遍地,现正在最美丽的时节。
我想,今年我们能让弗雷德钓鱼钓得更快活。鱼儿比过去任何时候都爱上钓鱼。请把钓鱼的服装带来,也别忘记带上打网球的用具,因为我们还邀约了欧文夫妇,我想,你们是乐意同他们打网球的。
星期五晚上有一班舒适的火车,我已经在火车时刻表上做了红色记号,火车大约在7点半钟把你们送到那里,正是吃晚饭时光。星期日晚上你们能够乘晚车回来。或者,在星期一早晨也有一班快车,就是鲍勃常坐的那一班车。
我们期望没有什么事情会阻碍你们,我们在等待着你们光临……我明白欧文夫妇好盼望再次见到你们。准备乘哪一班火车,请必须告诉我们,好让鲍勃到车站迎接你们。
