THE WIFE: Thank You Notes

A good wife writes thoughtful  handwritten Thank you notes for gifts recieved and other kind acts of generosity. Orginally thank you notes for hospitality or attending dinner in a friends home used to be reffered to as ‘Bread and Butter’ Letters. The writer is thanking his or her hosts for their hospitality (and food), but the letter is also a basic social formality, not likely to contain any exciting content.  A “bread and butter” note may not be eagerly awaited, but it’s the sort of thing expected and probably noticed most in its absence.
