Dear Johan,
I told you that I

whether I got a job or not.

Thank you for your letter of 15th May. Sorry I

Slamet in Central Java. Sometimes I go there my parents. Last holiday we
visited them again. We went there by train. Let me tell you something about it.

Slamet in Central Java. Sometimes I go there my parents. Last holiday we
visited them again. We went there by train. Let me tell you something about it.

me, going to Pakujati is interesting. Don’t you want to join me one day?
