dear kitty,
i was upstairs this morning, since i promised mrs. van d. i''d read her some of my stories. i began with "eva''s dream," which she liked a lot, and then i read a few passages from "the secret annex," which had her in stitches. peter also listened for a while (just thest part) and asked if i''de to his room sometime to read more.
i decided i had to take a chance right then and there, so i got my notebook and let him read that bit where cady and hans talk about god. i can''t really tell what kind of impression it made on him. he said something i don''t quite remember, not about whether it was good, but about the idea behind it. i told him i just wanted him to see that i didn''t write only amusing things. he nodded, and i left the room. we''ll see if i hear anything more!
yours, anne frank
