Letter to X
Dear X,
I am dictating this letter to you. Dictating means that I am picking all the words but someone else is writing them down, because I am not very good at writing words down yet, especially if they are long and hard to spell. So I am dictating and Mama is doing the writing down.
Mama said you couldn't come and visit me the last time you were here because you had to work on something that was very important and serious and you needed to pay a lot of attention to it. So I asked if I could help, because I am very good at helping with things, and Mama said that I couldn't go along with you and Norman and Bruce and your other friends because it might be dangerous. I asked if you were fighting something scary, and she said she thought you might be.
I told her I wanted to help, anyway, even if it was scary, because that is what friends do, and you're my friend.
She still said I couldn't go with you, but she also said there were lots of ways of helping, and that I could write you this letter and she do the writing down so that I could say whatever I wanted even if I needed big words.
This way, I can help by telling you that you are very brave and very smart, even when things are scary.
And I am sending you this hair ribbon, as a token. It's a thing princesses do, when people they like are fighting something. It is one of my very favorites, because it is purple with silver flowers, but I want you to have it. Because I like you.
Your friend,
Susan
