Dear Shabaz,
How can I disobey your command? Mine is not to reason why. I am a solider. Please receive me by the first or second bus on March 10.
Yours sincerely,
Chaudhry.
Dear Chaudhry,
It will do you good to visit our village in Sialkot after your arduous work in the Zarait Nama Weekly. Here you will be able to see real Village life and also rest your nerves for a while. We shall also visit Murree and Nathiagali for a while. The weather is ideal and open air will do you good. Would you come and join us? I feel I should not have asked this question but given an order: “You must come and join us.” I am sure you would have an enjoyable time.
Yours sincerely,
Shahbaz.
Dear Reehan,
Your idea of a taxi tour does not appeal to me. Cannot you arrange a car from any one of yours friends?
Yours,
Yasmin.
Dear Reehan,
Your idea of a taxi tour is really grand. I am certainly join you on any finally decide upon.
Yours,
Yasmin.
Dear Yasmin,
Could you join me in a taxi tour to Muree, Nathiagali, Ayubia and Abbottabad? It will certainly be a granted tour. It is an irony that while we live in Lahore, yet we miss the sights which people from Landon and New York come to see. We can have a little party and start on the morning of March 1. The whole tour has been mapped out beforehand and we will return to Lahore on March 5. The itinerary, of course, can be changed en route if you have any suggestions to make. If the departure day does not suit you, it can also be changed. Please let me have reply as early as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Reehan.
Dear Safdar,
Your idea of having a picnic at the Zoo does not appeal to me. If you plan to go to Changa Manga, take our consent for granted.

Address.
Date.
Dear Safdar,
It is a grand idea of yours to have a picnic in the Zoo. Perhaps you want the animal-like children to share company with the childlike animals in the cage. We will certainly join you.
Yours,
Dilbar.
Dear Shad,
I regret very much by inability to meet you due to my illness. However, my blessings are always with you.
Yours sincerely,
Nadeem.
Dear Mrs. Inayatullah Chaudhary,
I regret I was unable to attend the At-Home function on March 15, as I was at Gujranwala and received you invitation Card only yesterday on return. Thanks for your kind remembrance.
Yours sincerely,
Begum Vali.
Dear Khalid,
You are right. Life here is very funny and I just came here to escape the tortuous domestic duties. If your children bore you, illness is a safety device. They feel they have been bored—- a tilt for tat. Do come along for a nice chat. What use is your time? Better burn your boats burdened with brass! If you have any doubts, read Stevenson’s An Apology for idlers:
I offer no apologies for being here. And you can visit me without apologies.
Yours sincerely,
Latif.
