Just a brief note to wish you A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! or as our
Grandparents would say, MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY ! I hope you are well and happy, we all send our best wishes to you and your lovely family,
whom we have not had the pleasure of seeing for some time now, and so it pleases me to invite you and yours to celebrate your birthday as and when this is convenient to you.What would you like to do to celebrate ? Don't reply "what we did when we were twenty three years old," I'll have another divorce on my hands ! However, I thought you might like to come over one Friday night, and have a nice party with some of our common friends. You and your family could then spend the week end with us and we could thus have the pleasure of touring our beautiful region together. Please call me so we can decide on a convenient date.We might also come over some time this autumn for a long week end in England. We would then contact you so we can come and visit you.
Please give everyone our sincere regards, let them know we want to see you all soon, and please
do keep in touch, as it is always a pleasure for me to spend time with you !Look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon,Friendly yours,
