Dear Popuri,
I'm going to go visit the Ruby Mountains in the South soon, looking for plants that I'll be able to sell when I get back to Sedimentary City. There are a lot of interesting plants that can be used for medicines and dyes there, so I'm very excited. I also can't wait to meet the locals of the Ruby Mountains – I hear they're very friendly and welcoming to strangers. How is the Poultry Farm doing? I heard from Jack that a new farmer was taking over Old Joe's farm, have you met them yet? I can't wait to see you in the Summer!
Miss you,
Kai

Kai!
I'm good! The new farmer's named Pete and he's really nice! He brought all of the villagers presents and he's renamed Old Joe's dog Momo. Isn't that such a cute name? There's another new guy here named Cliff, he seems kind of gloomy most of the time and lives at the Inn. But I think he's just shy! The Poultry Farm is doing really well. One of Milly's eggs that we were incubating just hatched. It's a girl! We'll have to take really good care of the chick so it's going to get pretty busy soon. I'm thinking of naming her Nilly! The Ruby Mountains sound really pretty. Make sure you bring me a souvenir!
Love,

Hey Popuri,
Sorry for the late reply! There's no postal system in the Ruby Mountains, so I had to wait until I got back to Sedimentary City. I made a lot of profit from the things I brought from the Ruby Mountains. The locals were as friendly as everyone said they would be. You won't believe some of the things I ate! Most of them were delicious, but some of them…not so much, haha. Nelly is a wonderful name! I can't wait to meet her. I guess I'll be meeting Pete and Cliff soon too! Lots of new people this season in Mineral Town, isn't there? Don't worry, I definitely remembered to get you a souvenir. I think you'll like it!
See you soon,
Kai
