No she neither can write, nor read. When I saw your message, I took her up in my lap and told her that Angel uncle has written a letter. She was excited and told (ordered, i think) that she will answer. She told me to write. She appreciated the name poppet. Now she is roaming around and saying, if you crudely translate it, "me poppet" and smiling. Any way she dictated a long list of things, I only wrote a gist of it. Now I just told her that you have answered her letter and it's now difficulkt for me to write any more.
