Seven-year-old is keeping art of letter writing alive

WITH regards to your article regretting the decline of letter-writing as a vital means of communication, I have an amusing story to relate ("The last word... fine art of letter writing dying out", May 21).

After the election, my lovely seven-year-old grandson took it upon himself to write to David Cameron to congratulate him and wish him luck for the future. He also said that he was very, very, very glad Gordon Brown had resigned. The funny part? His parents are Lib-Dems.
