At first I e-mailed him, 2 days have passed and he still didn’t reply me. I thought that he wasn’t 

going to reply me about The Pony Express. Then at the 3 day he replied  me. When I saw his 

e-mail I was so happy. He gave me a lot of information that is about The Pony Express. And best of 

all he gave me suggestions of what should go where on my website. He gave me a lot of information

and ideas. He was really helpful.
