I found an old postcard today at the used bookstore on Fifth Street—one of those sepia-toned views of a train station, circa 1910. The message on the back was brief:
"Arrived safely. Weather fair. Will write properly soon. —M."
The handwriting slanted elegantly to the right, each letter formed with deliberate care. I bought it for two dollars.
