Dearest Mother,

The train ride was quite amusing. The train stopped so the children could get a quick look at the bizarre animals at the side of the track. Afterthe train ride we got taken to the town hall were the sharp's chose us. At there house we did gardening nearlly every day. We went to school five days a week and I met some new friends there who are called George and Edward. There funnier than my old friends.

All my love Thomas xxxxxxxxxx
