The Writers Art

As usual, I have been neglecting the blog and enjoying life, recently however I purchased the estate of a local retired professor and have been readying this collection for resale. There have been many great finds in the this collection that include some kids homework, letters, bills etc. Many of which I returned to the owner before I removed the books from the house.

As I have been going through the collection though I have found some cool stuff and some mundane items too. Various bookmarks, calendars and the like that were stuck between pages along with the usual phone numbers of a friend or memo from a phone call.

I will try to update as I find more stuff from the collection and today's is more on the mundane side but still interesting.  Lodged between the pages of "The Writer's Art by James Kilpatrick was a little gift envelope and inside was a little note that read:

"All the best to a great Greek who learned english

                                       Dan Scott "

Along with a newspaper clipping about an online journal that fights for expressive English. (www.vocabula.com)
