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.
