Dear Jenny,
I’ve got the letter you wrote to me （1） December 5th last Friday. I’m very happy to hear that you’re doing well.
It’s been about two months since you left. I’m very glad （2） hear that your new job is interesting, but I’m sorry to hear that you don’t like Washington. I think you’ll like （3） better once you make more friends there. Good luck to you!
Thank you very much （4） your invitation, （5） I’m very sorry that I can’t go to your Christmas party on December 24th （6） my grandfather will come here that day to celebrate Christmas （7） our family. Please forgive (原谅) me! I hope you can come to New York to spend （8） New Year holiday with us.
Yours,
Lucy
