"How to Write Letters (Formerly The Book of Letters)" by Mary Owens Crowther is a practical guide to effective communication through letters, written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive resource for both personal and business correspondence, outlining the essential components and etiquette of letter writing to ensure clear and appropriate communication. The opening of the book introduces the concept of a letter, emphasizing its role as a means of conveying thoughts and information rather than a form of literary expression. It discusses the evolution of letter writing, highlighting a shift from formal, ceremonious styles to more direct and purposeful communication. The author argues that effective letter writing focuses on clarity and conciseness, with an intention defined by the writer, and begins to outline the fundamental parts of a letter, setting the stage for detailed guidance in subsequent chapters.
