Charlotte von Stein was born 275 years ago. Still a good one about letter writing:
„Dear friend, excuse my long letter. I had no time for a shorter one.“

Letter Box Study Group
Donovan of the Letter Writers Alliance wrote a short post about a nice BBC video on the Letter Box Study Group.
And I really envy UK for the still existing classic letterboxes. In Germany there are just boring yellow „things“ with no style. Not to talk about service …
Writer’s little helper (Facit TP2)
Today I had help from one of my favourite typewriters, the Facit TP2, writing a letter to a friend. I love this about 50 yrs old machine for the precise work, the workmanship, the crispy font and the great details Swedish engineers thought about. I bought it with the case and the Swinging 60’s manual for just 30 EUR.
Robert Messenger has written a great article about the Facit TP1 and TP2 on his admirable ozTypewriter blog.
