Love, 40 years in the past, Amy Gould.

Dear Aliene,
I first have to apologise as I assume this took a LONG time to get to you! I can only imagine that mail is even slower than back in Adelaide. But I diverge, Melbourne is AMAZING! I love being here, though there aren't nearly as many churches I'm sure I'll find a place. But how are you? Is the American teacher cool? Does she have a really bad accent? Also, I have been trying to learn Dutch, it's similar to German so it's not too hard but it's still hard. Anyway it's weird to talk to you through a letter so since I have been making some money at the chicken place down the road and of course my mail runs I am going to call you once a month, it shouldn't be too expensive but we will talk for 30 minutes and send letters the rest of the time, I can't lose my best friend! Anyway, have fun with everything!
I will call you on April 17th at 3:50 pm my time on your blue phone so you can't sell it!
Lots of love, Amy Gould
