The art of letter writing is an art swiftly dying. So with the assistance of a 1908 edition of The Complete Letter-Writer for Ladies and Gentlemen I hope to remind myself how best to manage such weighty social matters as an invitation to stay in the country if you happen to own a castle and know a Colonel who enjoys a spot of ‘tramping’.
I do not, and I do. Entry No. 17 is a God-send.
