[Vocabulary] meaning

[Azah]

This is the first time I have had to sit quietly and write you back.


The meaning of this sentence is not clear to me. Please say what the sentence means.

 

[bhaisahab]

It's badly written. It means "This is the first opportunity I have had to sit quietly and reply to your letter/email".

 

[J&K Tutoring]
