Your friend,
Edward Potts."
S. A. Frost, Frost's Original Letter-Writer. A Complete Collection of Original Letters and Notes Upon Every Imaginable Subject of Every-Day Life, With Plain Directions About Everything Connected With Writing a Letter (1867)Need to write a heartfelt letter of condolence, but too busy to experience real compassion? This handy collection of very specific form letters has you covered. Just don't forget to customize the limb in question. Awkward...
Some of the other letters are just as interesting:
ReplyDeleteTo a Friend on the Loss of a Valuable Ship at Sea
Congratulating a Friend on the Unexpected Return of a Son supposed to be Dead
Congratulating a Friend upon Escape from Injury in a Railroad Accident
Declining to Recommend an Errand Boy
Letter Ordering Dry Goods from a Firm just starting Business
Letter from a Lad to a Sea Captain asking to go to Sea
It's just funny to think that some of these were such common occurrences that they needed to cover them. "I've written so many letters to friends who've escaped train disasters that I'm all out of ideas!" Like, how does a letter to someone who survived a train disaster not write itself?
If your man is pushing you away and acting distant
ReplyDeleteOr if the guy you’re after isn’t giving you the time of day...
Then it’s time to pull out all the stops.
Because 99% of the time, there is only 1 thing you can say to a standoffish guy that will grab him by the heartstrings-
And get his blood pumping at just the thought of you.
Insert subject line here and link it to: <=========> Your ex won’t be able to resist?
Once you say this to him, or even send this simple phrase in a text message...
It will flip his world upside down and you will suddenly find him chasing you-
And even begging to be with you.
Here’s what I’m talking about: <=========> Is your man hiding something? He may need your help?
Thanks again.
