Anither letter fae America

Dear Maggie an the bairns

We eventually managed tae get Erchie oot o that 'Aw ye c'n eat' place. the manager gi'ed him his money back, wi' an extra $10 cause Erchie was makin his customers a bit queasy! Ca' see why? Erchie is no a messy eater, jist eats a lot.
Ah 'm ashamed tae say this Maggie, but ah wis richt embarrassed last nicht. We went tae this 'Hooters' place. Ah thocht it wis like the Railwaymen's Club. Here an did the waitresses no walk around without semmits oan! Ah ken it's warm in Florida, but no that warm. Didnae ken where tae look - well, ah did, but ah didnae, if ye ken whit ah mean.
Ah told oor waitress that she wis a brazen wee hussy, but Erchie reckoned that it wis tae save on cleaning bills. The wages must be richt pair if they ca' afford tops or cleanin. We left a big tip, an Erchie offered tae let her wear his jaiket tae get hame.

The morn, we're gaun tae hire an 'air boat'. Ah think they're havin us on, just cause we're tourists. Boats need watter. Mebbe we'll see wan o thae alligators. They wander aroond loose an it must be awfy if ye're a dog.

Aw my love
Malcom

ps Erchie says. Ask Ella whit size shoes she takes, an if'n her feet are no too big, she micht get a haundbag as weel.

Your prose gets more exiting by the hour. I'm holding my breath for the next installment.

Sounds to me like your group blended right in down south. Unless, of course you were wearing your kilts, can't wear those on an "air boat"
