A letter from Toronto

A thank-you letter has come from the eight travellers in Canada. In Mrs. Hayashi's office on the ninth floor Ben asks to read it aloud and reads out the best parts, that the small inn was the best and better than any hotel. Then he phones the Hanaya, where Mike has just passed his Japanese exam and Kenta wants the letter kept, for research. Say a letter of thanks has come, allow me to read it, it says the small inn was the best, apparently it was better than any hotel, keep that letter, and I passed.
