Dear Cindy,
How have you been lately? Sorry I haven’t written in such a long time. In the future, I’ll make an effort to write you more often.
I will be moving to Houston next week to take a job in a law office there. My new address will be 1324 Park St. I am almost finished packing and hopefully the move itself will go smoothly.
Though Houston is several hours’ drive from San Antonio, it’s a lot closer than Phoenix. I hope that I’ll occasionally be able to visit you or vice versa. Write me and let me know how you’re doing.
Sincerely,
Albert Coleman
親愛的辛蒂:
你近來好嗎?抱歉我這么久以來都沒有寫信給你。未來,我會盡全力更常寫信給你。
下個星期我將搬到休斯敦去,并在那里的一家法律事務(wù)所上班。我的新地址是公園街1324號。我?guī)缀跻淹瓿纱虬耍M峒液茼樌?/p>
雖然從圣安東尼奧開車到休斯敦要好幾個小時,但是那比鳳凰城近太多了。希望我有時候能去看你,反之也希望你能來看我。請寫封信給我讓我知道你近來如何吧。
艾伯特?柯爾曼 敬上
