"Eight or Nine Wise Words about Letter-Writing" by Lewis Carroll is an essay published in 1890. This practical guide offers advice on composing, writing, mailing, and recording personal correspondence. Carroll covers everything from organizing stamp cases to beginning and ending letters appropriately. The centerpiece is nine rules for effective letter-writing, addressing common pitfalls like illegible handwriting, unnecessary apologies, and the temptation to have the last word.

this Victorian-era manual blends Carroll's characteristic wit with surprisingly timeless wisdom about written communication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
