October 18,2012 Dear Bonnie, 

I will be away for a while. The key to the cottage is under the doormat, the food is in the refrigerator. 

After entering the house, lock the door from inside at once. The cottage is far away from the nearest town, the area is not quite safe from burglars. So I think the saying is right that where there is precaution, there is no danger. 

Have a nice stay here. 

Yours, 

Alice
