London Bay Stationery

The following letter appeared in the Austin American Statesman on February 28, 2008:

There was a time when civility and elegance were the order of the day. It was a matter of course for families and friends to write to one another, inquiring about a relatives’ health, passing on news or announcing the birth of a baby.

Business was conducted in much the same way.

But no more. Even as e-mail has dumbed down the way people talk, what with sentence fragments and unclear ideas, the more usual response is silence. Phone calls are handled in much the same way.

So please give me a fountain pen and fine paper. Read what I’ve bothered to write. Give me a response…
