Dear Kath,
You will no doubt be surprised to receive a letter from me after all this long time, but a letter from Barbara concerning some distressing news you had received prompted me to write to you.
I do sincerely hope you will hear good news of Ian in the near future, don’t lose heart Kath, keep on hoping.

It must be years since we last met, and I believe you now have two sturdy sons to keep you company, they must be a great comfort to you, though at the moment I expect they are more of a worry.

Don’t give up hope – I feel sure all will be well.
Much love,
Lena.
