Dear Mr. Harrison,
Jamie is coming back to school on Monday and my husband
has asked me to explain the situation to you. Jamie has
recovered from his bout of bronchitis now, but the doctor
told us to keep him home for a few more days to be on the
safe side. We hope he hasn't missed anything important
since term began.
We would like to ask you to watch over him for a while
and not to let him take part in games or gymnastics for
a week. This is on the doctor's advice - I enclose a
note from him. Jamie Is so keen on games that he will
try to play before he is fit enough, unless someone keeps
an eye on him.
We have provided him with all the clothes on the list
except the red athletics vests and the blue shorts. He
has already grown out of last year's pair, but we only
discovered this yesterday and the local shop doesn't have
any in stock. I shall get some next week and forward
them by post.
We were very pleased that Jamie took to boarding-school
life so well in his first year, and we trust he will
continue to be happy. We are both very grateful to you
for being so helpful last year, and we look forward to
having another talk with you at the parent-teacher
meeting next month.
Yours sincerely,
