George Bush Sr's dog got so fat in 1992 that he (Bush) sent this memo to all White House staff.

#InternationalDogDay
So, uhh, years later, George Bush Sr. wrote a letter to a puppy (!!) and mentioned the death of Ranger, the fat dog.

(Found in 'All the Best, George Bush: My Life in Letters and Other Writings')
(If I only tweeted about letters written by people with impeccable histories, I’d never tweet. Just enjoy the nice dog letters.)

C. S. Lewis received thousands of letters from youngsters, and he attempted to respond to all of them—not with a form reply but with letters of substance and value. On this day in 1956, he replied to a young girl who wanted to become a writer. His letter included this list...
"What really matters is:—

1. Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn’t mean anything else.
2. Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.

Currently reading this collection of letters between Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova and economist John Keynes and I’m struggling to think of someone who ended letters as brilliantly as Lopokova. Image

Big week! 😬 On Thursday, these brand new, themed collections of letters are published. I love them; hopefully you will too. Letters about sex, fathers, dogs, grief, New York, and space. They fit in big pockets and make excellent gifts. Available in all the usual places.
Very proud of these books. I'll be showing you letters from all the titles in the coming days and weeks, on here and on Instagram (instagram.com/lettersofnote) and in the newsletter (news.lettersofnote.com) and anywhere else that springs to mind.
And there are audiobooks featuring all manner of talented people. We managed it, despite all of this [waves hands around]. I recorded my parts in a cupboard under my staircase. I'll let you know when they're available. x

On this day in 1899, E. B. White was born. He was, in my opinion, the greatest letter writer.
I mean. How could you even reply?
Just look at this. In a letter.

"My next astronaut is Buzz Aldrin."

(From the book, 'A Reluctant Icon: Letters to Neil Armstrong'.)
From the same book. Armstrong received this letter on his 70th birthday. He forwarded it to NASA and asked if they had "ever refuted the allegations or assembled information to be used in rebuttal?"
"Maybe you are one of those pensioners who do not surf the Internet, because you know precious little about how it works."

Unreal.
