In our current age, it has become lost from mainstream awareness that philosophers, thinkers, writers and artists historically corresponded with colleagues and friends predominantly through the letter. Outside of thank you notes this practice seems to have largely disappeared.

I am interested in reviving and maintaining this practice, as I believe the writing of a letter helps one to really clarify their own thoughts and gives one time to carefully and accurately arrange their words.

Some of the greatest writers and thinkers shared or realized their most profound insights through the medium of the letter.

Receiving a physical card at time unexpected time is a joy that is fading away in the age of the internet, but is something worthy of preserving. If you agree or are interested in general, please write me a letter. I look forward to our correspondence.
