Chapter 65

dear uncle:
This is an intense and busy stage-the graduation ceremony is 10 days away, and the exam is due tomorrow. Everyone is busy studying and packing.It's sad to be at home when the world outside is so exciting.

But it doesn't matter, summer vacation is coming soon.Julia is traveling abroad this year - this is the 4th time.Uncle, everyone will live in their own way.Sally went to the Adirondacks as before.do you know where i am goingYou can be given 3 chances.Rock Willow?wrong.Go hiking with Sally?No (I can't hope anymore, the last year has been a disappointment for me).Can't you guess?You are so unimaginative.I will tell you, Uncle, if you agree or do not object very strongly.I have informed your secretary in advance that I have made up my mind.

This summer, I'm going to the beach with Mrs. Richard Patterson and tutoring her daughter who is going to college.I met her at Macbeth's, and she is a very charming lady.I'm teaching her youngest daughter English and Latin, but I can spare some time to myself.I make $50 a month, which is a lot!Is it a little too high?It was she who suggested it.Originally, I was going to ask for $25, but I felt a little awkward.

I’ll be in Montagronia (where her home is) all of September and maybe Rock Willow for the remaining 9 weeks – I’m happy to see the Samples, and the friendly critters .

What do you think of my arrangement, uncle?You see, now I'm starting to be quite independent.You helped me stand on my feet, and now I can walk independently.

We were still taking exams when Princeton held graduation, which was an unexpected blow.Originally, Sally and I both wanted to go, but it was impossible.

goodbye, uncle!Spend this summer vacation well, so that when you come back in autumn, you will be full of energy and put into work for the new year. (Those are the things you should have written to me!) I have no idea what you do in the summer, where you spend your holidays, do you like golf, hunting, horseback riding?Or just sit in the sun and daydream?
Whatever you do, have a great day and don't forget Judy.
