My dear Aunt,
My sincere thanks and gratefulness are due to you, for your precious gift and fascinating greeting-card. But we all missed you so much. I hope now you are better and fully recovered from cough, cold and fever, and consequent weakness. I wish you the best of health, happiness and luck.
I received a number of gifts on the occasion, but believe me, dear Aunt, your gas-lamp was the most sought after gift. It is so charming, sleek, useful and appreciated by all of us here. It can be easily refilled. It is indeed very nice of you to remember me like this on my birthday.
You know, there are frequent power-failures and breakdowns. As such, I cannot study at night many a time. This beautiful and fascinating lamp would help me a lot in preparing my lessons in such critical hours of power- failures. It sheds mellow and pleasant light. May this loving gift of a lamp help me in obtaining true knowledge and light, so that the darkness of ignorance is vanished for ever from my life? I promise to make the best use of your grand gift.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I thank you again for this gracious gift and birthday wishes. Please convey my compliments to dear uncle. The messenger had left the gift and greeting-card on the morning of my birthday.
Yours affectionately,
