Deciphering the letters Written by Cheryl (8/30/2005 10:15 a.m.)

Letter 6 is such a nice, long one - I'm sure Cassandra enjoyed getting it, but did she have a hard time decipering it, or was she used to such? There are notes in my edition of

[End of p. 4; next paragraph written upside down at top of first page]

[Next two paragraphs written upside down between the lines on p. 3]

[Final postdcript written below the address panel on p. 4]

It's almost like a puzzle, isn't it? I'm assuming it was done to save paper and postage, both expensive items. I suppose Cassandra should be glad that at least it wasn't it wasn't crossed. ;-)

Hard to see? Jeanne (8/30/2005 12:20 p.m.)
I think it would be hard to read but Cassandra probably Robbin (8/30/2005 12:12 p.m.)
