Dear Mark and Martha. Hopping my letter finds both of you in good condition. After our extremely awesome trip to your home, Nicki get sick and I was looking after the children. Now she is better, I found some time to get in touch with you.
Firstly
, we both want to thank you for the hospitality, and the great catch-up we had together. It had been a long time, since our
last
 get-together. The excursions you had arranged for us were all amazing, as I can see and for the photos you took and sent us. Our nights in your yard will be unforgettable. The memories from our years as students in college were slightly forgotten. So many beautiful pictures came out again.
Secondly
, we invite you and Martha, to spend the Christmas Holidays here in Boston. We will be very happy to have you two here, reciprocate your hospitality and refresh our memories once again. Let us know if you can come. Looking forward to your news. Yours' Cas and Nicki
