10 January 2009 Dear Aunt Hilda, Just writing to thank yo for the wondeful train set you sent me for my birthday. I like it very much, and Sarah and I have both enjoyed playing with it ove the long holidays. It has been a while since you visited us. How have you been? How are the dogs, and has the cat stopped playing with your knitting yet? We were hoping to come by for a short visit on New Year's Eve, but Sarah wasn't feeling well. However, I hope to see you next year when I will be home from school for the holidays. Hugs and kisses - - Your nephew, Tom
