A gratifying volume of letters, cards, and longer typescripts have been reaching me recently. Among them is a letter from a recent recruit to the insurgency.
I was especially surprised and delighted to read this passage on the agency of typewriters:
The simile struck me because there's a new addition to my household: Della, a 10-week-old border collie. She's sweet, inquisitive, and playful. Border collies grow up to be so smart that I fully expect her to beat my words per minute—if only I can find a typewriter whose keyboard is adapted to a dog's paws.
Nice text and I wish you great moments with the new pet.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the cutest and smartest-looking puppies I have ever seen. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWonderful letter.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful new addition. Border collies make great pets, and they are very loyal.
awww, puppy! :D
ReplyDeleteAs a person who grew up with manual typewriters I share much of what you've typed. My vehicle of choice is an Olympia SM9 I found in a Goodwill store for $6.
