Yes, this is how I see it as well Written by Maisy (8/30/2005 5:08 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, When I see the capped words..., penned by Robbin

She does it mostly with nouns. And she does it frequently to the word "You," which emphasizes the conversation style of her letters to CEA.

I've not read letters by other people of that period, so I wonder if this was a common practice or just common to JA (or JA's family)?
