We have now received 5 pieces of mail from camp – and my mother has received one more. None are from Margaret. Katy has sent two letters to us at Tahoe, and her mandatory postcard went home. We know that she likes her cabin mates, her counselor is English, she misses us, and she has a list of things she wants in her care package. Both she and her counselor have told us that she passed the swim test and that the trip up in the bus was long and boring.
Margaret’s counselor told us that she is bright and a skilled reader and excited to ride the horses. We would be skeptical about the last thing, but today the photos showed her on a horse and not looking too terrified, so maybe the counselor did know which child she was talking about.
We hope that the lack of mail from Margaret means that she is too busy and having too much fun to write home…
