Letter Assignment (Baldwin: "My Dungeon Shook")

I would like you to draft a letter, a real letter, with an envelope, heading, closing, etc. in part, because it seems to be a lost art form. This letter should be written to a young child (family member or child whom you care about, or a future child you will have), telling him or her about:
1. The world as it is in your eyes today. This could include world/current events, condition of your immediate world, your thoughts/feelings etc.
2. Your hopes for the future, for him/her and yourself, and any advice you would like to give to help him/her (what you have learned about the world and life so far).

Make it serious.
