...handwritten and has been typed for legibility.") This is unfortunate, as typographical style can offer important clues to the emotions underlying SDS prose, such as the conclusion to a letter of January 25 in which the otherwise uninformative comment--"We would appreciate a response as soon as possible"--curves upward on the page in a rising sweep of alarm.
