Thank you! It turned out a lot better than I thought it would ;D. I really loved the passage you chose, and your calligraphy is amazing :)

Dyan and Victoria, I've received your letters, but I haven't opened them yet. I like waiting for all of them to arrive to enjoy together. I realize Magdalena's from Singapore may take some time, so I'll be sure to update you when I finally open them. I'm really looking forward to seeing the insides.

Thanks for letting me know you received mine. Hope you enjoyed that tea! :)

from Sybillevz:
As a way of practising, Sybille writes out one of these "news headlines" each day, with an explanation of the story on the back, as she explained in a lovely letter written to me in Spencerian (not posted). Lovely.

from AnasaziWrites (Mike):
Five copies of the Gettysburg address are known to have been hand written by Lincoln himself, two contemporaneous with the speech itself, and three shortly thereafter (written by request to be sold to raise funds for civil war veterans). This is a copy of the fifth and last one, called the Beecher letter after the man to whom it was given. The original Beecher letter hangs in the white house now. To me, the most eloquent and noble speech ever made by a US president.
The copy posted here is my copy number four, which has no envelope, as it was given to my wife by hand (she is on all of my exchange lists).

I've received one so far from list 9. I am still hopeful that I will get more! I hope mine got where they were supposed to go, too! This was such a fun exchange to take part in.

I'm also hoping everyone got mine - I know Andrew did, and I received his as well (what a treat!).  Estrella, I got your lovely piece a few days ago (thank you!), and still waiting on one last one.  This reminds me, I need to hop on the birds and the bees train STAT!

Hey everyone! If you were on my list I apologize! We have had a major life event occurring and that has taken priority. Your letters will be sent very shortly. They are finally complete and are sitting on my writing desk, ready to go. I am so incredibly sorry to have fallen behind like this.

I have received your letters and they are beautiful!!! It's always so exciting to get such beautiful mail. Thank you so much.

Please forgive me for my lack of speed and focus. It's been a wild couple of months and things are finally starting to slow down and go back to normal.

Hello Jennifer!

So far, I've only received the letter from you. It was very well-made! I felt like a proper English lady.  ;D
Thank you very much!

I hope my letter reached you by this time.
I am called Ia (eye-ya) but feel free to call me Ice. :)
