| I just received the Pushkin book with all your letters in it. I felt very happy because I wanted to see what happened when you arrived in America and also because I had not received a letter from you. You are the first person who ever sent me a letter from America.
I think that some of the things that you wrote were happy, sad, scary, and even funny. I also think when you were on the ship it was very dangerous.
I hope now that you have arrived in America you are safe and sound. I hope that you have a better life in America.
When I read about your arrival in America I was so happy for you. You can be with your family.
I cried when the ship fought through a storm on the ocean. I thought that you were going to fall overboard. I also cried when Pieter died.
I was so happy when the doctor decided that you and Ilya could enter America. Now you can be with your mother and father and your five brothers and with Sadie and your baby nephew, Aaron. Ilya can be with his uncle, too. I hope you and Ilya have a better life in America.
