Dear Hoa,
Your Dad and I hope you are well. We are both fine. It is nearly harvest time again and we are working hard on the farm. Your grandfather often works with us. He is very helpful. He talks a lot about you and hopes you are well.
I received a letter from your aunt last week. She wrote lots about you. So you are taking morning exercises now, Hoa? You never liked to get up early in Hue. We are happy to hear you do now.
I hope you are taking care of yourself, too. Your aunt is very busy, so remember
to wash and iron your own clothes. And don’t eat too much candy or stay up late.
Those things are bad for you.
I miss you a lot. Your dad and I hope to visit you in Ha Noi soon, probably after the harvest. Don’t forget to write, Hoa.
Love,
Mom
