Letters

I am a great fan of letters – writing them, receiving them and reading them (like the wonderful ‘Letters of Note’ volumes collated by Shaun Usher). What email and social media has given us in speed and reach, they have taken away in depth and intimacy. I have cultivated the habit of hand-writing letters to family members for their birthdays. My wife, children, parents, sister and nephew all get one. Years ago, I also asked my parents to write me birthday letters instead of buying presents – and I treasure them as precious gifts. Who would most benefit from your gift of a letter?
