Dear Zahid,
It was really kind of you to have offered us accommodation in your flat in Lahore for two months during summer. Really it is an opportunity not at all to be missed. We will be reaching Lahore by the Dexule train on January 28 just after seeing the Republic Day procession at Rawalpindi. More when we meet.
Yours sincerely,
Shamsher.
Dear Qamar,
Please accept our thanks for your kind invitation. But I am afraid that the situation is not as it might appear to be. I have to take my examination next month and so I can hardly want of library and other facilities there. Mother, you know is of stay at-home nature who manages to bring Murree into her house with the help of a refrigerator or an air_conditioning plant instead of going out to Murree. As to the childern they are crying for Abbattabad rather than for the hills. Anyhow I am trying to take my family with me, and will send you the final reply next week.
Yours Lovingly,
Nawaz.
Dear Nawaz,
I have a rented a big house for the whole year at Murree. How nice it would be you if all of you could grant us the pleasure of your company during the summer vacation! We feel quite lonely here, and your stay with us, far from being burden, will, in fact, be a source of sunshine and domestic delight. Please bring your family here as soon as possible.
Yours affectionately,
Qamar.
Dear Auntie,
My heart reaches out to you in your bereavement. I wish I could fly to be with you at this moment of great family sorrow. I pray for peace to the departed soul and tranquility of your heart. With profound sorrow.
Yours,
Khundeja.
Dear Brother,
Thanks for your letter. The accident was indeed a very minor one. I am quite well now.
Yours Lovingly,
Birjees.
Dear Birjees,
We were all pained to hear that you had a car accident on your way to Rawalpindi. I, however, gave us some relief to learn that the accident was a minor one and you were progressing well. Please inform us about your exact say if any kind of medical aid is required from Karachi. We are anxiously waiting to hear from you by return of post.
Yours affectionately,
Azhar.
Dear Roohi,
Do not worry about my health. I am myself worrying sufficiently enough. Every possible care is being taken by my daugther. if the worst is to come, what’s the use of worrying? Lahore is as much within reach of the Inevitable as in Murree. If I have to die this year or the next, I will rather die at home. But there is no immediate danger or anxiety. One should be always prepared philosophically for death. It knows no age, no season.
With Love,
Yours affectionately,
Uncle.
Dear Uncle,
We are all here anxious to know about your health. We have received disturbing news of your suffering from cough and cold during the current cold wave at Murree. Why don’t you come over to Lahore when it is snowing over there? Please take better care of your health. It will be ideal if you come stay with us until the weather improves in Murree.
Yours Lovingly,
Roohi.
Dear Auntie,
I owe you a very sincere apology. You wrote to me last month but due to preoccupation with more urgent affairs, I regret very much that your letter has remained unreplied. Do not think that I am offering you a lame excuse. My excuse has really long legs. I had so many guests at home on account of the Republic Day rush in Lahore that I could not attend to my correspondence. I wish you had joined the colourful crowd of kith and kin at our house instead of excusing yourself off. Rather an apology is due from you!
Yours affectionately,
Shaila.
