Dear Oe,
I am writing to tell you how very much I enjoyed the days at Chicago.
Everything was just about perfect. You certainly know how to make a guest feel at home. Your delicious meals were a treat, and your flexibility in adapting to my irregular schedules made many things possible.
I hope you and Peter know how I appreciate your hospitality, and your many kindnesses to me. I count myself fortunate indeed to have two such generous charming friends!
With thanks again and best wishes to you.
Yours
Ali
