Thank you very much for the painting of “Garden in the South”.

Then your lovely gift arrived on Thursday. We hung it up immediately. Do come over in the coming spring break and see for yourself how beautifully it complements the sitting-room color scheme.

Again thanks for taking the time and the trouble to get us just the right thing. We love it.

Affectionately, Li Ming

Now that I’m able to write again, I want to thank you for

Dear Mr. Pound,

I have been having trouble with my new camera (model 3506g,
