Dear Little Janet
I hope you are well and did not upset yourself last night after Daddy went. I had a very good journey up here, and managed to get quite a lot of sleep. I did not get found out with the other mans pass, and so did not get any jankers. Everything is alright now and I cannot get found out.
I wrote to Mummy tonight but forgot to mention that is has been snowing hard all day, and this evening, and is still snowing now. The snow is about 12 inches deep. Tell Mummy will you please.
Much Love from Daddy
