" My policy includes this but extends to "..but assume they will." I find writing style is more natural that way and like you said, gives them the room to respond if they choose to. “I think the safest thing to do when

My policy includes this but extends to “..but assume they will.” I find writing style is more natural that way and like you said, gives them the room to respond if they choose to.

Whatever works better for your letter-writing pratice. Now I sound like a yoga instructor! Yes, I suppose my approach is a little on the pessimistic side.

And I thank everyone for their responses too!! I moved away from a town I lived in for almost two decades, and I try to write those who don't use email to keep up with me. I was getting discouraged by them not writing back, as I try to stay connected to my friends "back home". I know they are busy, but I felt like my efforts we starting to be a waste of time, but now I know that they do appreciate my letters even though they may not respond. I know I appreciate every letter I receive! Thank you for the encouragement to keep writing!! And thank you Samara and everyone for the stationery source ideas!! I will definitely be checking those out! I do have one site to add to the list. I found www.lettersets.com. The stationery is "cute-sy" and may be a little juvenile for some, but would be worth checking out for a little girl who wants to write letters, and it's not too expensive. Thanks again for all the feedback! I really appreciate it! Maggie Samara:
