“It was pleasant to me to get a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and the signature (which I guessed at). There's a singular and a perpetual charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its novelty. Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever - unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime.” IfsThinkingMenShouldAbleLastsFoundGrowsLosesForeverHumorousLettersShould HaveLifetimeForgottenPleasantCharmReasonableThrownPerpetualNoveltySignaturesDecipherReasonable Man Author:Thomas Bailey Aldrich
