Dear Gordon,

Many thanks for agreeing to stay in the flat while I'm in Wales. I enclose the key and here' s the list of what's where that I promised you: If you lose this key, Mr. Johnson ... the flat .................. the ground floor has a spare. If he's away, the landlord lives… the building …. the end of the street. It's called Laurel Villa, and he's Mr. Emerson. They both know you'll be there while I'm away. The electricity and gas main switchers are ... the wall … the back of the large cupboard ... the study. You can turn the water off by the large tap …the corner of the bathroom. I hope you won't need to. I've made a list of all the useful phone numbers I can think of. It's stuck ... the kitchen door. I hope you have a good time.

Much love,

Paul
