ROYAL SLUDGE
HOTEL
All the other hotels here are beautiful and new. Our
hotel is ugly, and it's very, very old. In fact, right now a
repairperson is fixing the bathroom sink.
So, Mother, we're having a few problems here at Sludge
Beach, but we're happy. We're happy to be on vacation,
and we're happy to be together.
See you soon.
Love,
Ethel
