We ended letter 54 with Shanti dropping her letter and rushing off to the hospital to have the baby. Later her husband Mike finds the letter and sends it to Joseph and Lizamoa.

Hi, it is Kim here. Yes I know I didn’t write the original letter, Susan did but I’ve been asked to take Anne’s notes and do this background since Susan is involved in another story.
We wanted to create a sense that some time had gone by between the first half of Shanti’s letter in Letter 54 and the second half in Letter 56. We did this in two ways. First, we added this short letter from Joseph showing that they had time to reply before Shanti sent her second part. We also added the detail that Joseph and Lizamoa already knew she had a little girl and even seen photos of her via email and the internet.
Joseph notes that little Kathy is a similar colour to their son. Indian babies are usually a lot darker with both Indian parents whereas both of these babies appeared to be of mixed race between an Indian and a European. This confirms even more that Mike might be the father of Lizamoa’s baby as well.
The final major point of this letter is that Joseph agrees that the crocodile hunting story should remain in the letters books. He also says he thinks a woman being able to hunt is a bit sexy too. This is probably why he agreed to keep the hunting story. Did you notice almost his last sentences “Yes I will allow you……” I bet Shanti picked up on that one too.
