Dear Uncle David, This is a small portrait of Oklahoma. Is it beautiful, right?
Our new house is located at the downtown section. There is a police station building in front of our house. My school is between our house and fire station
building. The library building is at the middle of the area. Here, we have two hospital buildings and two post office buildings.
Oklahoma is so fantastic and people always keep the city dirty. That’s why we love our new city.
We hope you can visit us here. Mum and Dad always wait for you. See you, Uncle.
Love, Mary Jaselin Bennington
