A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend.

This time, Fusako was able to express herself with fluency and candor. The bold letters she had been writing week after week had granted her an unexpected new freedom.

A letter is the most basic—yet the most flexible—mode of correspondence, regardless of its subject matter.

To write is human, to receive a letter: Devine!

Don't you believe I love you? Don't know how I can make you believe. I didn't want to kiss you goodbye--that was the trouble--I wanted to kiss you goodnight. […] Of course I love you.

Letter writing can be seen as a gift because someone has taken his/her time to write and think and express love.
