One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
I get a lot of letters from people.
Getting snail mail is one of my favorite indulgences, and I think receiving mail is actually a common joy.
I get a lot of letters, mostly from family members who have been affected by cancer rather than young people themselves. I reply to them all.
I like writing letters and receiving letters. It's a shame that we've lost the art of letter-writing and saving correspondence. I mourn that.
Letters are expectation packaged in an envelope.
I would have answered your letter sooner, but you didn't send one.
I get letters. I get several a week, I think. A lot of people want a picture, a lot of people just want an autograph.
Alongside my 'no email' policy, I resolve to make better use of the wonderful Royal Mail, and send letters and postcards to people. There is a huge pleasure in writing a letter, putting it in an envelope and sticking the stamp on it. And huge pleasure in receiving real letters, too.
The mail amazes me. I sometimes get these letters that are ten pages, and handwritten, from women pouring their hearts out and, for security reasons, I can only respond with a headshot and 'Dear so and so, be good. WM.' It never feels like enough.
