Famous quotes containing the word letters:
“It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Busy replying to letters from divers office-seekers. They come by the dozens.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
