Background
The booklet is full of wit and humour, with much excellent advice - do not use more than 1½ sides apologizing for not writing before, take the letter in your hand on the way to the Post Office, otherwise you will pass it twice on your walk out and back, and much more. It ends with a detailed description of how to record correspondence and 4 sides of interesting advertisements for Lewis Carroll's writings. A classic.
