One of the letters in box #23 is written on good quality, perfumed paper in a matching envelope. The gold-coloured wax seal bears a stamp with the symbol of a rose, no letters. The writing is very neat and easily readable but impersonal, with the size and curls all exactly the way you’d see them in a board school exercise book.
 

Quote:Dear Miss Wells,
 
If it would be at all convenient to you, would you mind meeting me at Mrs. Howard’s tearoom on Baxtergate this Saturday afternoon at 2.30 to discuss a possible position? I have two young children in need of care and education. I would like them to have the best upbringing from the start and your qualifications are what I am looking for. Please RSVP to box #69.  
 
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Cecilia Walker
