Dear Daddy Long Legs, I have quit my tutoring job per your request
To be honest, it was harder than I thought to balance work and study.
I think that you taught me about this before it became too much for The to cope with.
But I think that this was a valuable experience that I could not have learned in the classroom.
From Judy Abbott, who has grown up a little.
I received an invitation from Jimmie
and we decided to spend our summer vacation at his holiday home in the Adirondacks.
I made holiday plans with Sallie and Julia so we could have lots of funi
But then, I received a letter from Oaddy that contained something unexpected!
