Dear Mom,
I hope everything back home is doin’ fine. I miss you so much, but I’m having some fun here. It’s a nice town and I’ve managed to make a few friends. Their names are Jem and Scout. We’ve become pretty close. More importantly, mom, I’m in love.
Scout is perfection. Her eyes are as blue as the sky here in Macomb, and believe me the sky is beautiful here. The ways her eyes pop with her pale skin is as purty’ as a sunset. Her hair even, it’s short but beautiful. Her skin is like a white vanilla cake. She’s gorgeous inside and out.
Scout is brave too. She is up for anything me and Jem are doin’. Anything we play and do she’s up for it. She went to the scary Radley Place with us, an played a game we made up about the Radley’s. These scary Radley folk barley even spook her. She was brave enough to best me twice. I didn’t admit , of course. Mom, I think she might just be as brave as me.
She’s smart one too. Scout is witty and quick to think. I’ve had too think of a way to get her outta’ trouble, but other than that she can hold her own. She can already read and write. Mom, I think I have found a winner.
I miss you a lot mom I love it here, but I can’t wait to come back and see you. Tell everyone I love them.
Love, Dill.
