I have gotten free e-mail from girls. I think they are prewritten. One said just the other day. "Oh it is spring here!" I wrote you might want to look outside and check your calender! You do live in the Nortern hemishere also. It is also christmas time to buy presents Etc... I never heard back.
A few years back one girl, in her first or second letter, wrote that it was her birthday on something like 05 March and in her very next letter wrote that it was her birthday that day, but it was only something like 27 February :)
