Dear Mrs Seiberling!
Have you forgotten me? When do we start our lessons? I like too much your voice, I would be very glad to study with you, to spend some weeks studying together, where you like.
I have just now more time, some of my pupils are going to take their summer rest. Holidays…
Please, don’t forget dear Mrs. Seiberling
Yours very truly
William DeckTranscriber
