This is the very first letter Simon Townsend received from a viewer of Simon Townsend's Wonder World!. It is dated 3 September 1979, the same day that the first episode of the show went to air.

The letter is from 13-year-old Cheryl who found the show entertaining and wishes Simon good luck.

It has been preserved in the first of five scrapbooks kept by Simon Townsend and donated to the NFSA in 2017.

There is also a copy of Simon's response to Cheryl pasted on the same page of the scrapbook.
