      @@WaitingtoHit Plus it took forever to get a letter so if you knew how to write you'd generally want to write enough that the other person could read it for a while and you were taught to value long sentences with a lot of descriptive language. And if you didn't know how to write or read you were probably paying someone to write/read the letter for you and then it would be awkward to be more explicit and you'd likely be more brief and to the point such as "Take care of the children and please confirm we haven't lost more cows"
