Dear Ms. Coakley,
I shall state our AMERICAN, mile seems to be shorter than an ENGLISH mile, or distance, for when in LEICESTER, we asked the propietor how far was the LIBRARY, which we needed to do research and meet the Librarian, whom I had written to months before coming, the propietor stated,"JUST A WAYS DOWN THE LANE," well I shall state, "JUST A WAYS DOWN THE LANE," turned out to be almost 4 miles, we nearly died and took a cab back to the BED AND BREAKFAST, whereby we told the propietor that was NOT "JUST A WAYS DOWN THE LANE." which, we AMERICANS are not walkers, we drive everywhere. I did walk three times a week,but have stopped, we now have a pool, the heat is horrible, 98 degrees right now as I write and very humid, air like heat and water, very sickening, this is our summer every summer, but the summers have gotten hotter and hotter, for when a child they were NOT this hot or humid, tis like you are a green house every day, I dislike summer, now, I am a winter person, but to get back to the subject at hand, is this trek up hills, and is it more than 4 miles, and what is the means temperture for AUGUST 15 TO SETPEMBER 15, is the weather of a cool nature, are, is that your WEEKS hottest as here? We do not cool down here until late OCTOBER. The ISLE OF MAN of course is on a high latitude and longtitude, we, a very low, we are almost tropical all summer to late October and have had hot weather all the way to DECEMBER and had to run the air conditioner on CHRISTMAS day many times, for it was so hot. So if you can give me some idea of the weather or direct me to a site that would give me that data I would greatly appreciate that information.

We have walking shoes, but daresay, we shall bring our canes, or walking sticks, for if steep hills we will certainly need those. I would not want to fall, as what happened in Leicester, with Mother. so I will bring two foldable canes, better to be prepared. Well, must go have a late brunch with our daughter and cake for my birthday and going to an INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION, WITH FIREWORKS, tonight.

Kindly yours,

Mrs. Rosa
