Dear Mamma,
Happy Birthday, merry christmas. I am so slow, this will not arrive in time, I am sorry. I
have done nothing about Christmas here. Linda will be in Scotland. I don't know that I can
remember how to make supreme sauce and hard sauce. If I get married, will you give a short
cooking course? If you want that amplifier, please advise and I shall get it. Just yes or no and a
little cheque.
Thank you for the Christmas present. I shall tell you what I decide to do with it.
Much love,
Peter
