【正确答案】
Dear Iris,
Now that I am able to write again, I want to thank you for the lovely flowers. They helped
cheer me up on several gloomy days, not only because they added color to the room but because
they reminded me of a good friend's thoughtfulness.
The doctor assured me that if I continued to improve I should be able to leave the sick-bed
within a few days. You can imagine how happily I heard the news.
I miss you so much, especially during these days, and I hope I shall soon be able to call on you.
Yours sincerely,
Mary
