Dear Khalid,

Many thanks for your charming present. It is a lively and lovely book not growing old too soon. I had such a fine time reading it yesterday. Now I feel fit and fine to begin a new life of dutiful ugliness–merrying and carrying on. I only pray that my head should remain in its place and childhood linger on in mind forever and ever. I hate to grow old, yet old I must grow.

Yours sincerely,

Razo.

LETTER OF SYMPATHY IN ILLNESS

Dear Dawood,

We are all sorry to hear that Deba is confined to bed with illness. We need hardly tell you that we are deeply concerned at this. Our prayers for her early recovery are with you. Please let us know without delay or hesitation if we can be of any help to you in your present suffering. We are worried about the children of Deba. What a heavy extra burden it must be on your shoulders to look after them when their mother is lingering between life and death. Kindly send them over here. It will be not trouble to us to take care of them. As Deba has been a second mother to my children, I can be a second mother to her children. Anxiously waiting for an early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Amna.
