Dear [Jane]:
I hope [you and Fred] haven’t any plan for the weekend of [July twenty-fourth] as we’d like you to spend it with us at [Far Acres].It’s simply beautiful here now,with everything in bloom!
I think we can promise [Fred] some good fishing this year.The fish are biting better than ever! So bring your fishing clothes;and be sure to bring your tennis things,too,because [the Owens] are coming and I’m sure you’ll want to get out on the courts with them.
There’s a very good train [Friday night];I’ve marked it in red on the timetable.It gets you here about [seven-thirty] which is just in time for dinner.You can get a late train back [Sunday night],or there’s an early express that [Bob] usually takes on [Monday morning].
We hope nothing will prevent you from coming,as we’re looking forward to your visit…and I know [the Owens] are looking forward to seeing you again,too.Be sure to let us know what train you are taking so that [Bob] can meet you at the station.
