"Dear Maddie,
"I went to Jerusalem last weekend and thought of you every day. Aren't you glad that you live in a place where your caretaker doesn't have to carry a gun?
"But although the region has its problems, don't worry about me -- I feel totally safe. Also, you will be glad to know that Israel is a cosmopolitan place; they have all the hallmarks of an advanced culture:
"Dada climbed through a big dark tunnel while he was in Jerusalem. It even had a stream running through it -- it was crazy! He looked something like this:
"However, he took heart because a tiny person up ahead of him reminded him of you and your braveness:
"Well, I miss you, tiny Madster, and I'll see you soon. Take care of Mama and your grandparents,
"--Dada"

Dear Dada,
Don't worry about me. Grandma came and made me many Chinese meals and took me to see the extra large fish and turtle at the aquarium, where I, too, had to walk through dark, scary tunnels, around which swam sharks! Now that I am in Durham, Gram and Grandalf have surrounded me with fabulous new toys both inside and outside their mansion. What else to call their abode that. They have so many hallways compared to our little house. I miss Paloma, though. So I give anything that looks like a dog a hug.
See you soon, Dada.
Love, Madster
