Hi Arthur,

I have just heard from Aunt Margaret that you are taking up teaching.

All I’d say is to think about this very carefully. I know you like to order people around (like the time when you led us up the wrong mountain on our last family holiday), but sometimes you get a bit impatient when people don’t agree with you. You might well be faced with 30 teenagers who don’t quite agree with your ‘methods’. What will you do then?

You were a bit of a tearaway yourself when you were at school so I’m sure you will be able to relate to some of the naughty kids. However you’ve still got that famous temper of yours. I still remember that time when you broke your wrist thumping the wall after I beat you at Monopoly. You’ll have to learn to control your emotions a little better if you’re in the classroom!
