Dear Nancy,
about(of)
I have been thinking over you a lot lately. I’m sorry for not writing sooner, but I‘ve have so busy
with the children.
I ran through my mother at the market the other day, and I talked with your life in the BIG CITY! It
is interesting how much your life differs in your mother’s and mine.
You asked me for my life as a “typical American housewife.”. My life consists in my children, my
husband, and my home. As you know, we recently moved on this big, expensive new house, so we don’t
have much money these days. I thought in trying to find a part –time job because it’s not easy to live with
Dick’s salary. Dick doesn’t want me to work, though, and I think it’s more important for me to take care to
the house and kids. Anyway, I know I can depend for Dick to support us all.
The kids are wonderful. They are growing in so fast! Every afternoon, when they come to from
school, we talk with their day, and I go under their homework with them. I really enjoy listening on them.

What else can I tell you, Nancy? Sometimes I get together from other mothers in my neighborhood
and we talk on our kids and husbands. I think I’m lucky because Dick helps me for the house work more
than most other husbands do. Occasionally. I go to my neighbor Julie’s house and ask her about some
advice, or I borrow some sugar or something of her. Now and then I run around some old friends from
high school.
And that my life, Nancy. Sure , sometimes I dream for doing something different and exciting, and I
think on you in the city. But really- I am very happy.
Love
Susie
