Letter from Laura to Tom as a respond to a letter she received from him after he left.

Dear Tom,

When I received this letter in the plain envelope without sender this morning, the first thought that came into my mind was: a letter from Tom and my heart began to beat faster.

I wish one day I can go there with you and then you show me all the wonderful places you have visited.
