My dear Father
Yesterday I received your letter from Mulatn and was happy to know that you are quite well. Mother is not very well today. And is lying down with a bad headache and fever. Nothing very important has happened since you left. As was expected Naila has been declared successful in FA. She passed in the second division. Let us wait if she gets a board scholarship. Imran and Alia are going to school regularly and Zubair is doing well in his cricket team. In short everyone is busy in his job. Except mother everything is going well.
Our uncle came in yesterday and spent the evening with us. Sumaira also came with him. She wants to go for medicine. She has met some lady doctors and they have much encouraged her. Mother thinks it is a good idea. And Sumaira is bent upon studying medicine. But uncle does not like the idea of her leaving home. So nothing can be selected till you return. We shall decide it in your presence. It will be easy then.
Everything is going on well.
Yours affectionately
