Waste of a penny stamp?

[Rena]

The recipient certainly didn't think the letter(s) contained waffle and would probably have referred to them more than once in their lifetime.  It's surprising how words on a piece of paper bring a far away loved one back into the room with you. 

I've lived away from my kith and kin for decades and have kept all letters I've received.  Maybe the 1950's humour might be lost on those that follow me but they might be interested in the lifestyles of the earlier generations.   I wonder what they'll make of the little pile tied with blue ribbon

If they're interested in family history, then like me, they will probably raise their eyes skywards and proclaim "Thank you Lord  -but why didn't they think to put names on the back of the pictures?"

I have another letter from 1885, that is really giving me a headache trying to read.
There are three separate pages  totalling six full sides of awful writing.
If anyone fancies a challenge drop me a PM and not wanting to waste space here I'll send you a link where to find the pictures.

This is a sample

Apart from the content, I was very impressed by the handwriting (last one excepted). I remember at school we had an English teacher who paid scant regard to any grammatical error but was a terror if our handwriting was substandard. Fortunately I was able to make my script flow quite nicely - something that I have always done with pride. It rather upsets me now to realise that with arthritic fingers and a fused wrist, my writing is less than perfect - still better than most if I may say
