Hello Mila!

     How wonderful it is to hear from you. I hope that everything 
is going well with you and your family there in your little town 
of Valencia. I am so happy to hear from you and your letters 
really bring a bright spot to my day.Yet I am surprised that you 
have not been receiving my letters. Did you receive the little 
package that I sent to you? I sure hope so. I know that for a 
while there it was a little difficult to find the time to write
but now things have smoothed out a bit and I'm finding more time 
to write to my good friend Mila in Valencia. Mila I think about 
you all the time and I wonder how you are. Your letters are such a 
joy for me and I love to hear from you. Please do not be 
discouraged by any delay. The mail takes a long time to go between 
our two countries and I have tried to find a faster way of mailing 
to you. Yet there is no fast mail service to Valencia. I know that 
you must wonder what's going on and I know that it is hard to wait 
for mail. I am so glad that you continue to write to me even 
though there may be delays in the mail. It shows that you have a 
fine heart and that you really value a good relationship. Mila I 
would really like to get to know you as well as I can. Is there 
any way we can communicate by telephone? If you have a phone that 
I can call you at please let me know ok? And I will do my best to 
give you a call. It would really be a lot of fun. 
     As I wrote to you in my most recent letters I have been 
involved with some computer groups and have been having a lot of 
fun with it. Most of the people I meet in this area are quite 
creative and perceptive. They are a real pleasure to be with and 
we share a lot of ideas. They tend to be really good people that 
are trustworthy and make good friends. I still have not finished 
the tune I have promised you. I have gotten rather picky about how 
it sounds but hopefully it will be finished this weekend and I can 
send it off to you. I sure hope that you like it after all the 
work that went into it. The tune only represents a phase of 
writing that I am into at the present time and future tunes should 
be even better. 
     Well it's getting pretty late in the evening and I'm feeling 
pretty tired. So before I go off to bed I want to thank you again 
for all the letters and the wonderful Valentines day card. Wow it 
was really great. And Mila I miss you too. I really do. I wish 
that I could hear from you more often. Even though the mail is 
slow I will keep writing to you so you know that you are always in 
my heart.
     May the Good Lord bless you always and forever Mila and may 
he bring the best of everything to you and your family. Until next 
time keep a song in your heart and a smile on your face. I'll be 
writing to you again soon. Don't forget me Mila. Your friendship 
means a lot to me. 
          Your good friend from California,

                         Donald.
