(A)

Dear John,

I got your letter yesterday. Yes, of course you can come and stay in Chichester next week.

It's really lucky, because the day after tomorrow I shall go away on business myself for three days at the beginning of the week, but I shall be back when you come. What time will you arrive? I'll leave a key with my friend next door at Number 21, so you won't have to wait before I return.

I'd better now tell you how to get here, though it's not very difficult to find.

Walk up the Star Road until you come to the first set of traffic lights and then turn right. Turn left at the next crossing. On this road there's another set of traffic lights. Go straight across, and Landsdowne Road is the second on the right.

By the way, I hope you won't mind sleeping on the wooden bed. I'm sorry there isn't a free bed or a blanket(床单), but it's quite strong, so you should sleep well enough! Oh! I nearly forgot to ask you about the most important thing;——could you bring a sleeping-bag? Well, I must go now——I've got to go and take the car from the garage(汽车修理店) . I was out yesterday, when it broke down on the way. I had to walk two kilometres before I found a phone-box, and I was able to get a garage to send someone to give me some help.

Hoping to see you on June 7.

Yours, Mike
