Présentation de l'éditeur
Home Games LETTERS AND TELEGEAMS The point of this game is that no writer knows what has already been written by the preceding players, so that the correspondence is likely to be amusingly disconnected. It begins with the letter. The first thing to write is the address and My dear ,choosing whomever you like, but usually either a public person or some one known, if possible, to every one present. The paper is then folded over and passed on. The next thing to write is the letter itself, which should be limited to two minutes or some short period, and should be the kind of letter that requires a reply. The paper is folded and passed on again, and the subscription, Believe me yours sincerely, or whatever adverb you choose, and the signature are then added. The signature should be that of another public person, or friend, relation or acquaintance of the family.
