Hello, Franco:
Yesterday I received your letter IT-1337. It took a long time but it arrived. The delay must be due to the Christmas time and the accumulation of correspondence.
Thank you very much for all the stamps that came as a gift. I would like to know if you have used recent stamps from Italy for exchange. I know they are hard to come by. I could send you recent news from Spain, which is increasingly rare to see them circulated in letters.
Greetings, thanks and merry Christmas:
Fernando
