Dear Nephew Gobo,
Recently, while reading the large, densely-printed publications that are so popular here in Outer Space, I found a request for help. Naturally I answered it. As a result, I gained a new job: watching one of their caves at night. It takes an incredible six hours a day! But if a Silly Creature can do it, so can any brave, resourceful Fraggle such as I.
I thought I would be alone, but there are strange costumed creatures wandering about this cave. At first I found them somewhat alarming, but after I got to know them, and they accepted me as one of them by giving me a costume of my own--rather forcefully--we became the best of friends. I'm almost sorry that after the seventh night I was released from the job for reasons I don't quite understand. However, my real job is, and always will be, to explore Outer Space.
Love,
Your Uncle Traveling Matt.
