Dear Eddie,
Thank you for your very nice letter and I enjoyed hearing from you very much. I’m happy to hear that things are going ok for you now and your collection sounds wonderful.
I’m sorry to say I haven’t any stamps around the house and never gave much thought to saving any.
I hope someday in the near future we have a chance to meet and until then, I remain.
Sincerely,
Ken Venturi
