Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commercial Correspondence and Postal Information
When asked to teach Commercial Correspondence some years ago, the writer found his task most difficult and unsatisfactory. There were no books that treated the subject beyond the mechanical arrangement of a letter, with rules on punctuation, capitalization, gram mar, and penmanship. Though all books on rhetoric emphasize the importance of letter writing, they give no adequate treatment of the subject; and such exercises as they furnish are generally trivial, meager, inadequate, as, for example, write a letter purporting to be from an aged doll; write a letter dropped from a balloon write a letter applying for a position as first mate on a steamer, giving such particulars as would be likely to be required etc.
