Letters of Note, a site that transcribes old letters showing both an image of the original letter along with the transcription of it, is probably the best way to come out of this unplanned hiatus.

The letter that spurred me to write this suggestion was “I was ready to sink into the earth with shame”. However, a recent notable letter “I refuse to salute the flag” is also worth linking to.

I’ve been subscribed for weeks and have read every letter.

It couldn’t be more easy to participate: “I’d love to be able to post a few guest haiku of the handwritten variety. Anyone willing to try is welcome to send an image of a self-written haiku.” Howard says in this post a little help from my friends. If you’d like to participate, just send your handwritten haiku (as a JPG image) to howard@nonbreakingspace.com.
