Edinburgh,

5 October.

Dear Mary!

Thank you for your letter, that came yesterday. I do like to hear from you. The news of your interview are very interesting. You didn’t say did you get the job? I hope it.

You wanted that I tell you about what am I doing in Edinburgh, and how is my life here. To tell you the truth, I miss my family and my friends If I was at home, I wouldn’t missed so much. But the course is good, although it is more hard that I thought. First I hadn’t no friends, but I soon knew the people. They are in the same department. Actually I spend the all time trying to buy the books, which I need reading for my course. I’m sure I find them soon. And if I’ll buy them I’ll be very busy!

I finish now. A friend of me must to write the letter in French, and I said to help him. Write or phone to me soon. If you will go to Scotland, visit me, but remember taking a warm clothes! It’s so cold weather here!

Best wishes,

Mike.
