That was so fascinating!! I wish we could see the picture of that letter, but as an aspiring archivist, I understand why you can’t!

Oh, me too. (Typing/hand-cramping.) Yes, I’m pretty much always in a hurry. I wonder if mixing capitals vs. lowercase and script vs. print means anything? That’s not about hurry — I just switch sporadically. Indecisive? LOL. (Not expecting an answer — ha! I know you’re busy!)

I love putting up this kind of stuff because it isn’t found in the biographies.

Sounds like you’re in a hurry to get your thoughts down on paper! I do the same thing (except my once neat handwriting is always looking like scrawl) – with me, I don’t write that much because I type all the time so my hand cramps up rather quickly.

My handwriting always starts out pretty tidy but quickly escalates into a scrawl, where I mix script with printed letters and upper and lower case. What’s that mean?

Comment on Finishing up Eight Cousins: Your own worst enemy by susanwbailey

You’re welcome. It is a comforting and fun book. Fun too to see how Louisa inserted her very adult views on women into this children’ story.

Nothing much to add except to say Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom were my childhood favorites, right up there with Little Women. I just loved Mac and disliked Charlie immensely. Thanks for featuring “8″ and offering your insights.
