Not much mail comes any more, not letters anyway.

There's email, and texts, and twitters, and probably a hundred other ways to communicate electronically. But letters, personal and hand-written are rare. When was the last time you got a letter from someone that was not soliciting your financial contribution or wanting to enroll you in a new credit card or reporting the safety of the water supply or detailing the failure of the government to do anything; a letter from friend or lover or family that was simply sharing news or emotion?

When did you last receive a letter written in cursive? On real stationary?

I found that it takes thinking and time to write a letter. And it takes a stamp, how much is first class postage?

Every other method is faster, but to have a letter, in someone's handwriting is a treasure. Well, it could be.
