Letters of Note: Just personal enough
December 12, 2009 | (No Comments)
I enjoy the website “Letters of note”, which reproduces old letters in their entirety for us to peruse at our leisure. I was rather bemused by this form response to fan mail from Robert Heinlein.
My favorite checkboxes were:
( ) Thanks for your kind words. You have made my day brighter.
( ) You say that you have enjoyed my stories for years. Why did you wait until you disliked one story before writing to me?
( ) It is not just for a student’s grade to depend on the willingness or capacity of a stranger to help him with his homework. I am ready to discuss this with your teacher, principal, or school board.
( ) Please do not write to me again.
( ) Thanks for the stamped & addressed envelope-a rare courtesy today.
( ) Your letter was most welcome!–loaded with friendliness and with no requests or demands. You suggested that no answer was expected but I must tell you how much it pleased me. I wish you calm seas, following winds, and a happy voyage through life.
I was also intrigued this week by Walt Disney’s stationery.
