					<salute>Dear Mother + Dad</salute></opener>
				<p>I'm afraid I shant have time to write a full letter this week -- and there
					is nothing new any way I've received your box and passed the gift on to
					Young. He apperciated it a lot. I also received a box from the Groover's --
					and then forget to thank Alice for it when I wrote earlier this evening.
					I'll have to remember this week-end when I write again. I did want to write
					though to let you know that I haven't forgotten St. Valentines day. I count
					myself exceptionally lucky to have such wonderful parents -- and I don't
					want to miss a good opportunity to let them know.</p>
				<closer>So loads of love to the best parents a fellow ever had --
