Dear Hilda,

1) I (just hear) that my mother (suddenly be) taken ill, and I (like) to go and see how she is. 2) The trouble is I can't take my dog Tim with me. (You think) you (can) possibly look after him for a week? 3) You (have) him for a week last year, you (remember) and you (say) he (be) no trouble, and (get) on well with your dog.

4) If you (can) have him, I (be able) bring him along any time that (suit) you. 5) He (have) his own bed and bowl, and I (bring) enough tinned dog food to last him a week.

6) But if it (not be) convenient, (not hesitate) to say so. 7) There (be) quite good kennels near here, and they (take) him if I (ask) . 8) He (be) there once before and (seem) to get on all right.

Love

Sarah.

 

Dear Sarah,

1) I (be) very sorry to hear about your mother's illness, and (be) glad that you (go) to Scotland to see how she is. 2) It (be) nice for her to see you.

3) Of course I (look) after Tim. 4) We thoroughly (enjoy) having him last year and my dog (miss) him when he (leave) and (look) for him everywhere. 5) I'm sure he (be) delighted to see him again.

6) (You bring) him on Tuesday afternoon? 7) Or, if that (not suit) , any time on Wednesday. 8) (not bother) to bring dog food; 9) I (have) plenty. 10) I hope you (have) time to have tea with me when you (bring) Tim, and that by then you (have) better news of your mother.

Love

Hilda.
