(I am usually)looking through people's old relics and old letters from maybe someone who was in the service writing to their wife or something like that. (I) never thought I would be the object of something like this, at least not at this age anyway.

To write is human, to get mail, Divine!

Now everybody who knows anything at all knows perfectly well that even a business letter does not deserve the paper on which it is written unless it contains at least one significant phrase that is worth waking up in the night to remember and think about.

People, in general, don't like to get letters addressed to them from the Internal Revenue Service, even if it's as simple as not signing your return or not dating your return.

How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter! To feel like conveying your thoughts to a person, to sit at your desk and pick up a pen, to put your thoughts into words like this is truly marvelous.

The talent of writing agreeable letters is peculiarly female.
