I trust your uncle is in good health. (My teacher, Mrs. McCarthy, said to always be polite.)

The other day, me and Jimmy went out to the haunted mineshaft by my house to look for treasure. It was scary! We had to run away from a bunch of mean coyotes, and I scraped my knee up pretty bad, but it was worth it, because we found a cool rusty ring!

Last weekend a bunch of us camped out overnight in our fort. We made a throne out of corrugated tin for the Frightmaster to sit on, and took turns sitting on it and telling scary stories with a flashlight under our face. Benny told one about a ghost named Vladimir who haunted the guy who stole his mauve skin. Ricky was so scared he peed in his sleeping bag. It was totally sweet.

Another!
