Notes: A letter which tells a story originally written by G.C. Lessing over two hundred years ago at the time, which is about a ring that granted a special power, and the ring's owner was soon to pass away, and faces a dilemma on which of his three sons he should pass the ring to. After the father died, a ring was given to each of his three sons worn on a finger, and carried a blessing. The story teaches the importance of kindness and giving - especially during the holiday season. Hanukkah and Christmas greetings closed out the letter.
