In this fifth mini-video, Mrs. Collins explains, in a heart felt manner, what its like receiving a personal letter.
This series of ten videos, all less than a minute in length, are snippets about engraved stationery, receiving personal letters in the snail-mail method (through the post office), and what its like being a stationer creating personal correspondence papers for loyal clients.
