It finally showed up!

So when I began writing letters to my family, I just started writing and I didn't think too much into the formatting and then I realized I actually care about that too, so I started digging.

I came across a few references to this book called "How to Write Letters" by a Professor named J. Willis Westlake from 1876. Naturally, I had to get myself a copy of it!

Now I did not just want one of the many reprints you can get and I don't care for extensive PDFs line what Google offers for free, no, I wanted the original.

Thanks to Ebay, I found one from 1883 that was in great condition so I picked it up! I found older ones, but they were in rougher shape and I wanted one that was in relatively good shape. Apparently this book is quite rare so this will be one of my few collectibles.

Now onto reading!
