LIVING LETTERS
STATE SERVICES COMMISSION

36 p. 1980 reprint. $1.75 plus 55c p & p
One of the aims in letter writing is to get ideas across to the reader clearly and briefly. But do letters always say what is meant? Even if they are clear to the writer, will the reader understand them easily? If you are still using the old cliches of “acknowledging receipt of”, “according to our records”, and “enclosed please find” it is almost certainly time to change your attitude to writing Living Letters.
