Dear John,

　　 I got your letter yesterday. Yes, of course you can come and stay next week. I didn’t realize your company was in this area. Actually, it’s lucky that I shall be here, because I have to go away on business myself on Monday - but I shall be back by the time you come. What time will you be arriving? Anyway, I’ll leave a key with my next-door neighbour (at Number 21) just in case you get here before I do.

I’d better give you some directions as to how to get here. When you get to the town, follow the main road as far as the first set of traffic lights and then turn right. Turn left at the next crossing. At the end of this road there’s a roundabout. Go straight across, and Lansdowne Road is the second on the right.

By the way, I hope you won’t mind sleeping on the camp-bed. I’m afraid there isn’t a spare (空闲的) bed, but it’s quite solid, so you should be comfortable enough! I nearly forgot to mention the most important thing - could you bring a sleeping bag?

Well, I must go now - I’ve got to go and collect the car from the garage. I was out in the middle of nowhere yesterday, when it broke down for no clear reason. I had to walk miles before I found a phone-box and finally asked a garage to send someone out to give me a tow(拖走).

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 Mike
