I know you think that Im messy, but I clean more carefully than Mother Nature does. There are dirt and
rocks everywhere in the woods! Since weve been at the campsite, weve been eating poorly than we do at

Dear Ashley,

Thank you for your letter. Its always a pleasure to receive your letters.You asked me how I spent the
summer. Well, it was not the best summer of my life. First, I caught a cold and was sick for two weeks.
Because of this I could not go to a youth camp and I spent a month in a stuffy city. Then the weather turned
bad and again I had to stay home. Only in August, I managed to go hiking with friends. We had a lot of fun
and sang songs around the campfire.

How is your new dog? Did it get used to you? What do you feed it?

Well, Ive got to finish. It is now 11:00 pm, its time to sleep. Take care of yourself,

Love,

Anna
