> I'm writing this letter slow, because I know you cannot read fast.
> We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the
> paper that most accidents happen 20 miles from your home, so we
> moved. I won't be able to send you the address as the last Sardar
> who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their next
> house,so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is
> really nice. It even has a washing machine situated right above the
> commode. I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3
> shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since. The weather
> here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first it
> rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
>
> The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a
> little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so
> we cut them off and put them in the pocket. Your father has another
> job. He has 500 people under him. He is cutting the grass at the
> cemetery. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out
> whether it's a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an
> Aunt or Uncle.
>
> Your uncle, Jatinder fell in a the nearby well. Some men tried to
> pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We
> re-cremated him and he burned for three days. Your best
> friend,Balwinder is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's
> last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he
> died.your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for
> his father. There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has
> happened.
>
>Love Mom.
>
>P. S : I was going to send you some money but the envelope
> was already sealed.
