In my own novels, I did describe one page of paper writing on one side only, folded in four, to resemble an envelope.Sweet Heaven. I remember buying a wax and seal when I was a teenager.

I find historical research so fascinating because everything was so different from our own experience I always wonder how they coped with what they had. And they truly got along very well with their own "modern conveniences."<br /><br /><br />Thanks, Melissa. I think it's a shame they only had 3 colors. I remember having everything from gold to purple to turquoise. I really think I'll get a new set and re-start that tradition again. :)Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308158251486924808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386077972421065740.post-85130693364351146602017-06-07T09:41:16.185-04:002017-06-07T09:41:16.185-04:00Very interesting.
