“I’ve always felt there is something sacred in a piece of paper that travels the earth from hand to hand, head to head, heart to heart.”

Christi, I’ve been exchanging letters with two little neighbor girls, ages 6 and 7. It gives them something to do and helps their busy mom, who has two other children — twin boys age 2 — to care for.
These times make me think of Jane Austen and her characters: they were forever writing letters. And receiving them. Without letter-writing, the plots of Austen’s stories would be very thin.
