The letter

Hello, Neighbors!

My name is Charleston Chew and I’m very sorry for my howling.

I’m an old man now, with cataracts, and sometimes I get real scared because I can’t see where I am and can’t find my mom.

Thanks for being patient with me. I don’t mean to be such a pain.

Jessica knew she didn’t want to get stuck in traffic or waste time going back to her apartment. She wanted to bring her dog Luna to her last class and leave directly from there. But there was one catch she needed to get permission from her college teacher.
