Dear Marilee,
Don't be upset or frightened, but I thought after over two years of you writing to me, With the help of a new friend, I've figured out how to write back to you.
Mr. Giuseppe Ravizza is the only person who knows of your letters. He is obsessed with your typing apparatus.
You see, Mr Ravizza was born and lived in Italy and died in 1885. I won't keep you long as I understand you're having a dinner at my home tonight featuring Italian wines. Rather ironic, wouldn't you agree?
Anyways, Mr. Ravizza invented 16 typing machines that future inventors used as rudimentary models.
Personally, I think it's all a bit unnecessary. Pen and paper worked perfectly fine for me. But since your typewriter is the only way I receive your letters, and now, you receive mine, I shall put my preferred method of communication aside.
I promise to continue to write to you (with the help of Mr. Ravizza) only if you do the same. May I suggest that you're careful telling your husband Richard. He may think you and I are completely..., no wait, he will think only you, my dear friend, is completely mad.
Until next time,
Thomas
hi
This is fascinating! It's amazing to think about how much we take technology for granted. Mr. Ravizza sounds like a true pioneer. It makes you wonder what he would think of modern communication, maybe even something like the virtual worlds kids explore these days, like Poptropica, where you can communicate with others from all over the world. I completely agree about keeping this between you two, Richard might not understand the charm of corresponding with a historical figure! Looking forward to dinner tonight.
I’ve been researching different 3pls lately, and Fulfilment Add really stands out with their fast turnaround and great customer support.

What a fascinating story! It’s incredible to think how letters and communication have changed over the years. I remember when I first tried using an old typewriter—making just one mistake was so frustrating because I’d have to start all over!
