 <blockquote>[[File:Aspas-copy.png|40px]]'''Re:''' Stamping of Letters Since I last wrote about the stamping of our overseas letters, the carelessness in stamping has not however lessened. It has become worse and more consistently bad. My rules in past years were that stamps must be level and at least a quarter-inch from the edge, the same distance top and sides.

Uncle Bertie had taken a keen interest in my own love affairs and was particularly anxious to meet Geoffrey. To my delight they took to one another at once.</q> Dunhill, Mary, Our Family Business (The Bodley Head - Great Britain, 1979) p-90.</blockquote>
