Dear Laura,
     It was so very kind of you to come and see me off! I know it wasn't easy for you to get to the airport at such an early hour, so I do appreciate it all the more.
     Flying over the sea can get rather boring after a while, and the story-book you brought to me was really helpful. It was sweet and thoughtful of you to think of it.
    The flight was smooth. And my sister came to meet me at the airport when we arrived at Paris. She shared my happiness in enjoying the photos you took for me on your beautiful farm.
     Now I'm in my own home and I'm looking forward to receiving you here some day in the near future. We'll have a nice time together again.

                                                                                                                Yours ever,
                                                                                                                Helen
