UNFORTUNATELY, this letter is written in biro, as I have lost my beautiful silver and black patterened Shaeffer fountain pen.

I last used it on July 31 in the cafe of the Blackburn Marks and Spencer. May I ask the finder for its return to the store.

It is useless to most people as it requires special cartridges, which cannot be obtained locally.

MRS R FRANKLAND, Partridge Drive, Accrington.
