My Dear Friend Jay,
I will make careful note to return your favors in a more timely manner. I could not forget you, and you will always be a dear friend of mine. Do not forget that, Etienne. It would be a pleasure to meet w/ you again after all these months. However, I am very busy, and may not be able to allot a proper time for our meeting, though it pains me to not see your face. Your English, although it isn't near perfect, is still improving. I am proud that you have gotten yourself a job and a house to call your own. Regarding marriage, I still haven't been wed, but please do not worry for me. I, however, will still worry for your health, because you can make reckless, and honestly incompetant choices. Have you made yourself a family? Settle down someday, for your own sake.
Sincerely,
Constant Matthews
