Chapter 76

dear uncle:
Did you notice the postmark?Sally and I came to Rock Willow for Easter.We are going to spend 10 days vacation in this quiet place.Our nerves would break if we had another meal at Fergus House.Eating in the same restaurant with 400 girls is a real pain, the voice is indescribably loud, and you can't hear the speech of the person opposite, unless you use your hands to make a microphone and put it near your mouth to yell.True.

We climbed mountains, chatted, read books, wrote, and had a good rest for a few days.We climbed to the top of Sky Hill - where Master Jervie and I used to cook dinner - it's unimaginable that it was two years ago.The stones blackened by the fire are still clearly visible.Certain places are always associated with certain people, so that it is really interesting to see things and think about people!I feel a little lonely without him here - but only for 2 minutes.

Can you guess my latest new activity, uncle?You'll think I'm stubborn - I'm writing a book. Started 3 weeks ago and progress is fast.Master Jervie and the editor were right, you write best when you write what you know best.This time I'm writing about the most familiar things—very familiar.Guess what the background is?John Gorier Orphanage.It's a good story, and I really think it's good—the story is about everyday life.Now, I have decided to give up romanticism and become a realist.However, if I start my own adventure in the future, I will return to Romanticism.

I will definitely finish this new book and it will be published!Just wait and see.If we make up our minds to do one thing and persevere, we will succeed in the end. For 4 years I've been hoping to hear from you - and I still haven't given up hope.

Goodbye, dear uncle.

Also:

I forgot to tell you the news of the farm—bad news.If you don't want to be thrilled, don't read on.

Poor old Glover is dead.It was too old to eat, so they had to shoot it.
