Hi, Doris. Happy Spring!

Erica is wondering if Sara received her letter.

I'm not sure how long it takes letters to travel overseas these days...

Hi, Doris.  Thank you for your kind words about my work.  I visited your website but I couldn't read it.  Sorry -- I have studied Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Latin and Hebrew in my lifetime, but I don't know any German.  

Erica would be happy to write the first letter.  What is your postal address?  

 

Thanks,

Shari
