Letter writing encouraged Remember how good it feels to receive a letter from a loved one or a friend? According to Howard C. Hodges, officer in charge of the Hertford Post Office, there's no better time to share that joy than during National Card and Letter Writing Week, November 5-11. The theme of the event is "lift Spirits ? Write!" "Letters have played a vital role in the history of our nation and so has the Postal Service, the agent for this communications link," Hodges said. "No aspect of the mail is more important than the exchange of sentiment, ideas and friendship among individuals and families." Hodges noted that a highlight of National Card and Letter Writing Week is the "Volunteer Scribe" program. It encourages students and other concerned citizens to write and address letters for those who cannot do it for themselves, such as invalids and the elderly.
