Dear John (and
Pat), I'm not sure if I've written already to tell you how delighted
I've been with the pen I bought (ed: a vintage Sheaffer's).
I know you probably hear that all the time, but I'm amazed that
from my description over the phone, and without watching me
write you could come so close to what I wanted (ed: f/m cursive
italic modification). I'm still trying to get better at the
angles I hold the pen to get the maximum thin and thick line,
but I can write infinitely faster than with a regular italic,
and if I slow down, the letters are pretty even if not as sharply
italic as my calligraphy books would like....But then, I'm still
learning (it's been 60 years, but OK, I'm slowl...). Anyhow
thanks again for a great pen, and lovely service. Sincerely,
Sheila Chadwick"(10/25/03) |
