Annual Letters

A few weeks ago I posted on my website a Christmas card and an annual letter, emailing links to various of my friends and acquaintance.

There were nearly 50 visits to the Christmas card, but only 2 to the annual letter.

That suggests that few were sufficiently interested in an annual letter to click a mouse button to see one. I wonder how many of the letters other people print and send by post are read attentively to the very end.

It does not follow that annual letters are useless. I found that writing mine helped me form a mental picture of my year, so I might write another at the end of this year, but if I do I shall write for my own benefit, not for anyone else's.
