“A letter should be regarded not merely as a medium for the communication of intelligence, but also as a work of art.”
In 1876, English Literature professor J. Willis Westlake wrote this rare, remarkable and delightful little book titled "How To Write Letters". It´s basically a manual of correspondence, showing the correct structure, composition, punctuation, formalities, and more.
It´s charming and romantic, and I would give my left arm to have a first edition copy.
