This book is definitely, and perhaps unfortunately, a "blast from the past."
Before E mail, etc., people actually used paper and pen to write to their friends, to issue invitations, to make reservations, and so on. The ability to write a clear, concise and intelligible letter was considered to be necessary for all business people.
The ability to write interesting, non-"I" oriented, grammatically correct, spelled with knowledge greater than a six year old, correctly formed letters was a requisite for anyone who was a competent man or woman, nevermind lady or gentleman.
Written invitations to parties and celebrations were the form.
These days have, of course, passed away. While the efficiencies of E mail and Facebook, etc., and very handy, something has been lost. A sense of permanence and a sense of style.
All in all, it was a gentler time although not necessarily a more efficient one.
