Dear Meghna ,

                            How are you? You have not written anything for a pretty long time about your health and study. What’s the matter with you?

      I have come to know from uncle’s letter that you are not at all interested in visiting the public library of your village. This is unfortunate. Visiting a public library has many benefits. It helps you to come out of the four walls of the house and be acquainted with many people. As it is impossible to get all the information from a single book so visiting a library will boost your knowledge. You can read many newspapers and journals which will improve your general knowledge. Besides, you become able to select the book your liking. The diversion you get by reading is surely pleasing.

So, I advise you to visit the public library as frequently as possible. No more today.                                                                                                                                                     Yours ever,                                                                 Beauty

To,

Meghna Saha
