Kay Brightwell To compose a note for someone and to receive one, there is a tangible connection with the other person. It may take a few days to receive these words, but how exciting it is to read heartfelt thoughts from another. Yes, a dying art. Yet we can hopefully preserve it by starting today and writing to someone dear to us and it could possibly be the highlight of their day. :-)

Carmela Molluzzo McMahon Remember "Pen-Pals"? I love to write and receive letters. I think I'll go write one right now. Laurie? What are bread and butter letters?

Profile picture of Lori Marin

Lori Marin Write! Good luck.

Profile picture of Laurie Buffett Kearns

Laurie Buffett Kearns A Bread and Butter note is a thank note to your hostess for hospitality in their home. I believe my grandmother and mother mostly wrote them for an overnight stay, perhaps because we lived far away from each other and hospitality always involved an overnight stay.
