I Miss Lorina Bulwer: A hand-stitched letter of note (lettersofnote.com)

"Miss" should be capitalized. I thought for half the article that it referred to an emotion and not a salutation.


You found that the most confusing aspect of her letter? I can't tell what is language shift and what is what I am assuming a very different perspective on what constitutes rational thought.


A comma would fix things.


She used no punctuation ever. :)


Well that's a new one. Fixed. Thanks!


The amount of work that went into this is amazing. Brought to mind Henry Darger’s 15,545-page magnum opus The Story of the Vivian Girls (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger).
