Dear Ruth,

When you first arrived here in Kent I thought you were a spy, here to bomb our city. But,
after I really got to know you I wished we had met a long time ago. I’ve always wanted a sister,
thinking back I realized you were like a big sister to me. Now we are both separated by a war
and a whole country. The distance makes me wish you had stayed and been the big sister I never
had. Ever since you left I have longed for another ride out in the green fields riding in secret away
from reality. But, now I understand the importance of you going to help your grandma during the
terrible war. You have taught me how to have the strength and courage to last me the rest of the war.
If the war ever ends we will see each other again and go riding through the town. I have experienced
many hard things through my life but now that I have met you I will always be able to have the boldness
to stand out and be strong to help others.  

(The war I finally won)                        Love,

                                                                                       Ada
