#i've only barely started and am already lamenting the lost art of letter writing

How can I be known to history as a charming and witty correspondent if I don't write any letters??? This is a problem!!

#random thought of the day #a trip to the bigger-on-the-inside used bookstore netted me a book filled with letters between presidents and their wives #which neatly marries last summer's interest in epistolary books with this summer's obsession #i've only barely started and am already lamenting the lost art of letter writing #there's a charming bubbly one from a courtship-era abigail adams #a surprisingly sweet love letter from john tyler to his soon-to-be first wife #a witty start to a letter by grant where he teases julia for how long women take to answer letters #between this and the julia sand letters and 84 charing cross road i am in distress #because i have no avenue to send charming letters to people
