Dear Auntie Edna,
Thank you very much for your kind
present. Socks are always useful,
and they match the shirt you gave
me last year. How clever of you to
remember that it was orange and
purple as well! My friends have all
commented on the bright effect.
I hope that you and Uncle Harry are
both well and have enjoyed that
holiday from work. We've all been
having fun on our new computer. I
expect you guessed that this letter
wasn't written on an ordinary
typewriter! By the way, it's a BBC
Master Series microcomputer and you
can buy lots of 'programs' to go
with it. .. in case you can't find
any different coloured socks next
year.
Your loving nephew John.
