Dear Theo,

I feel terrible about not being there for your big day. Sixteen already! Now you can finally sign up for the junior sailing certification you have been talking about for years. A parcel should land in your mailbox any day now, and I hope it makes up for my missing the party. I won't spoil the surprise, but it has something to do with art. I came across it during my travels here in Newfoundland.
