Spanish letter: thanks for hospitality.
Queridísima Sra. Pérez: Siempre recordaré mi agradable estancia en su casa y el cariñoso recibimiento y hospedaje que me proporcionó durante este verano. He pasado un tiempo muy agradable y, aunque estuviera lejos de casa y fuese mi primera experiencia en el extranjero, usted y su familia me aceptaron como si de mi propia casa se tratara. Considero tanto a usted como a los suyos entre mis más simpáticos y entrañables amigos. No he tenido la oportunidad de conocer todo su país por supuesto; sin embargo, la parte que conocí me ha impresionado muchísimo: sus gentes, su lengua y sus costumbres. Estoy en deuda con usted por ser tan amable y por llevarme en coche a tantos sitios de gran belleza e interés cultural. Espero volver un día para conocer aun más de su fascinate país. Ojalá tenga la oportunidad de abrazarla de nuevo en un futuro no muy lejano y ahora le ruego acepte mi afecto y mi gratitud. Mary Washington

Dear Mrs Pérez I shall always remember my wonderful stay at your home and the warm welcome and hospitality you offered me during this past summer. I have had such a marvellous time and although I was far from home and it was the first time I had been abroad, you and your family took me in as though it were my own home. I shall consider you and yours among my kindest and most charming friends. I did not have the opportunity to see all of your country of course; however, the part that I did see impressed me greatly: the people, the language and customs. I am in debt to you for your kindness and for taking me around in the car to so many beautiful and culturally rich places. I hope to return one day to get to know more of your fascinating country. With any luck, in the not too distant future we shall have the chance to meet again. Yours affectionately Mary Washington
