Dear Astoria,
Thank you for your gift and a belated Merry Christmas to you. The gingerbread is delicious so you may become a domestic goddess yet. Thank you, also, for reminding me that any melancholy at the absence of family is my own fault. You are so much like Mum it’s… kind of hilarious.
I expect we’ll see each other next year. Mauritius sends her love.
Cary
