Dear Son,
I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there.
I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read
fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the
newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we
moved 20 miles.
I won't be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed
here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they
would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we
will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our
address will remain same too.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated
right above the toilet I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I
put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.
The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The
first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a
little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so
we cut them off and put them in the pocket.
Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is
cutting the grass at the cemetery.
By the way I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is
Badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in
his club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove?
Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it
is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or
Uncle.
Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to
pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We
cremated him and he burned for three days.
There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
Love - Mother
