Eight Or Nine Wise Words about Letter Writing

Three sections: 'How to begin a letter', 'How to go on with a letter' and 'How to end a letter' by a prodigious letter writer, 'The best subject, to begin with, is your friend's last letter. Write with the letter open before you. Answer his questions, and make any remarks his letter suggests. Then go on to what you want to say yourself. This arrangement is more courteous, and pleasanter for the reader, than to fill the letter with your own invaluable remarks ...'; first published in 1890, yet as relevant to electronic communication today. Seventy-five numbered copies, signed by Edward Burrett, the printer, this copy unnumbered and inscribed 'Review Copy'.
