Instructions for Writing Letters

WE are always glad to receive letters from our brethren and sisters; but we must be allowed to complain a little of those who mix up matters in their letters, that should be kept separate. Let business matters be on a separate sheet, or a part of the sheet by themselves. Let all names of towns, and of individuals, be plainly written. We shall not spend so much time over carelessly written letters as we have done.—To avoid this, we shall return them. We do not complain of those who cannot write elegantly, by no means. But our complaint is against those who can write plainly, but are careless, and leave us to spend much more time in guessing out what they mean, than it would take them to write plainly.
