"It was a blessing and also a curse of handwritten letters that unlike email you couldnâ€™t obsessively reread what youâ€™d written after youâ€™d sent it. You couldnâ€™t attempt to un-send it. Once youâ€™d sent it it was gone. It was an object that no longer belonged to you but belonged to your recipient to do with what he would. You tended to remember the feeling of what youâ€™d said more than the words. You gave to object away and left yourself with the memory. That was what it was to give."
