A friend writes in an Xmas card to say he is now his partner's long term carer (partner is very old and has short term memory loss) and "it's a lonely life". 

I'll write him a letter. See if I can't get an old-fashioned correspondence going. He's an old fashioned chap who doesn't do electronic communication. We could talk about books if he cares to. He's as besotted a litterateur as I am. I'd enjoy having someone to sound off to about H.G. Wells (for instance).

I used to be quite good at writing letters- thirty, forty years ago.

I'm sure he will really appreciate that. I hope you both enjoy it.
