Letter to Ruth Cottell

Open letter from Patricia from Sainte-Croix en Plaine to Ruth Cottell
“Patricia is desperately looking for Ruth Cottell from Abingdon”

Saturday 3 September 2016,

Hello Ruth Cottell,

How are you ? I was your French pen-friend at school and we met several times in Alsace (France) and England. I spent a few days at your house in Cheltenham when we last met in 1988. I have been looking for you since you sent me that nice Christmas card in 1992, just before I left for a 11 year stay in Japan ! The stamp on the envelope said Tewksbury in Gloucestershire, but you did not mention any address on the card, that's why I was not able to reply. I have been trying to find you on the internet ever since I came back from Japan in 2004, but you just seem to have vanished. I have often been thinking of you. If you find this message, please contact me.
I would very much like to get in touch again.

Patricia
