"A bread-and-butter letter" = lá thư bánh mì và bơ -> nghĩa là thư/lời nhắn cảm ơn (tới chủ nhà).
Ví dụ
There was no reason to think it was the same man, except for that one detail, the letters he wrote, like 'bread and butter' letters after a party or a visit.
This book started, quite unashamedly (không xấu hổ), as a great big thankyou to the US of A. It was the breadandbutter letter that I had been meaning to write for many years.
This would be a breadandbutter letter from Clementine or James. With pleasure, she pulled out the typed sheet. It was typed, but there was something odd (kỳ lạ) about its appearance (vẻ ngoài). Her mind skimmed (lướt) over that, and she began reading.
Son: "Mother," said Marjorie, the next day, "what is a bread-and-butter letter?"
Mom: "Why, dearie, that's a sort of a humorous (hài hước) term for a polite (lịch sự) note of acknowledgment (tạ ơn), such as one writes to a hostess after making a visit."
Son: "Yes, that's what I thought. So I'm going to write one to Mrs.Geary."
