Dear Heidi-li! Thank you very much (in French) for your dear letter.
I will gladly come to America in ten years, because I cannot speak English like you.
Good-bye, Heidi, ciao, ciao. (In Swiss German)

Dear Heidi-li!
I have too much homesickness for you. Expect me at the next arrival of the rocket ship in New York.
Hearty
greetings from Astrid. Ciao, ciao.
