    Dear Mamma,

    Thank you for the card. I have not heard from anyone really. Linus is probably mad at me because I was getting mad at him for not writing and wrote him a rude letter at Christmas. It was just what he deserved I think but I probably should not have sent it. Anyway I am still mad at him because he still has not written.

    In many ways I hope we can come. I need a bit of a break. It would do the kids good and maybe even Julia.

    Do you think the Paddy wants a big party?

    Thomas needs lots of books and magazines. He is a whizz. He can write THOMAS and PETER and draw magnificently.

    (xxx ooo) love,

    Peter
