26 October 1973
Dear Aunty Maud,
I am writing to say thank you for my Christmas Present.
I am very pleased with my ‘Big Man’ bit of soap on a string.
I must say I was very surprised when I opened it. It must have taken you hours
to buy it from Woolworths.
If I ever grow up to be a man, I will always remember you
with fondness. I really enjoyed writing this letter to you. And redrafting it
three times, under threat of a beating, because I forgot how to spell
Woolworths.
Did you know that Woolworths has a reasonably decent pick n
mix section? I'm told that you can get a quarter of toffee pennies for the same
price as the soap on a rope! Who knew?
Anyway, see you this time next year, bless you.
Mr Peter
