Dear mother:

I’m writing from in our hotel at Sludge Beach. Ralph and I are on vacation with the children for a few days. We’re happy to be here, but to tell the truth, we’re having a few problems.

The weather isn’t very good. In fact, it’s cold and cloudy. Right now I’m looking out the window, and it’s raining cats and dogs.

The children aren’t very happy. In fact, they’re bored and they’re having a terrible time. Right now they’re sitting on the bed playing tic tac toe and watching TV.

The restaurants here are expensive, and the food isn’t very good. In fact, Ralph is at a clinic right now. He’s having problems with his stomach.

All the other hotels here are beautiful and new. Our hotel is ugly, and it’s very, very old. In fact, right now a repairperson is fixing the bathroom sink.

So, Mother, we’re having a few problems here at Sludge Beach, but we’re happy. We’re happy to be on vacation, and we’re happy to be together.

See you soon

Love,

Ethel
