(you have a friend who goes away for several weeks. she leaves an address
with you so that you can send mail while she is away.)

(do you send her a letter while she is gone?)

 Depends on the relationship between you and your friend.

I'd probablywrite the letter, but whether it would actually get sent is
another question.  Things have a very poor track record of getting from my
printer to the mailbox.  Anybody who really wants to hear from me should
know well enough to give me an e-mail address.

Ditto what Valerie said.  I'm really bad at writing letters.

If the address she leaves is an email address, I would probably write.
Otherwise, it's iffy.

I actually do write "real" letters semi-often.  I'd definitely write her.

Only "several weeks"?  If something interesting happened, I'd
send her a postcard.  For a real letter, she would take her place
in the queue behind my father, my grandmother-in-law, my high
school friend, the Chinese couple from last Thanksgiving, and my
sister ... and she'd be back before she moved up much in the queue.

depends on her.  probably, because if she gave me the address, it's
because she wanted mail.

Naw.  But if she wrote, I'd jot a note back.

It would depend on how long this friend was on vacation.  When one of my 
friends went to Colorado for swim training for 3 weeks, I didn't write.
But when another friend was away all summer, I wrote twice.  Since it was
the friend who gave me the address, I wrote first, and only wrote back
when my letter was returned.
Aside: I would assume that anyone who would leave an address with you while
he/she goes on vacation, would be a close friend, don't you think?  If they
were moving, that'd be different, but I generally don't leave short termed 
forwarding addresses to everyone I know.

Yes

 
I mail her a package full of dead fish.
