Dear Jenny,
Sorry I didn't answer your last letter. If I realised how serious the situation was, I would have written to you straight away. You obviously need my advice. I only wish to be with you now to help you. I think it's about time you left your job and started to look for a new one. If your boss insists on treating you so unfairly, then you have very little choice. You say that you'd rather have a job you hate than no job at all, but is that really true? If you were worried about money, don't be. You can come home and live with wour father and me for a while. I'd rather you lived nearer home anyway. Your old boss at the library, Mr.Green, say you could have your old job back if you want it. You could have been Head Librarian by now if you hadn't left ! Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear about any other suitable jobs. Take care and let me know if you make any decisions.
Love, Mum

Dear Polly,
I'm writing because I'm wondering why you've missed the last two days of school. You're never absent, so it was very surprising to me when you weren't in class. I called your house, but no one answered. I wanted to write you to check in to make sure everything is okay. Are you sick? Did your family go on vavation? If they did, that would explain why no one answered the phone.
Mrs. Egan assigned us a new project. It's a project on animals. Everyone has a partner and we have to choose a unique animal and do a presentation on it for the class. I told Mrs. Egan I'd work with you even though you weren't there. I hope that's okay with you. You should start thinking about what animal you want to study.
I really hope everything is okay with you. E-mail me or call me when you get this. I hope I see you tomorrow.
Gloria
