Where to place the date, how to fold and address an envelope, when a card will do instead of a note: J. Willis Westlake's manual on getting correspondence exactly right.
J. Willis Westlake was Professor of English Literature at the State Normal School in Millersville, Pennsylvania. How To Write Letters first appeared in 1876 and went through repeated printings over the decades that followed.
The opening part takes a letter apart piece by piece - materials, heading, introduction, body, conclusion, folding, superscription, and stamp - then moves on to the rhetoric of good letter writing, to notes and cards, and to a supplement on type-writer correspondence. The rest is pure desk reference: orthography and punctuation, appellative titles, forms of address and salutation, a classified list of abbreviations, foreign words and phrases, postal information, and business forms.
This edition features:
- A step-by-step anatomy of the letter, from materials and heading to folding, superscription, and stamp
- Chapters on the rhetoric and the literature of letters, with gleanings from published correspondence
- Separate treatment of notes and cards, and of the small formalities that govern the use of each
- Reference sections on orthography, punctuation, abbreviations, foreign phrases, and postal information
- Forms of address and salutation for every rank and office, with a classified list of appellative titles
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
