Usually the reaction I get is one of surprise. I send letters to anyone whose address I have and more often than not, I get an email reply 0_o. Would be nice to get a handwritten reply! I gifted my Montogomery Ward Signature 100 to one of my nephews so we have a nice little correspondence going on.

I got a very nice handwritten note with a $2 eBay purchase where the seller explained it now had some extra ink stains and as a result he was enclosing a partial refund of $1 and would that be satisfactory! I imagined him being an older gentleman because of his punctilious correctness over small sums, and thought he might enjoy a nice typewriter note in reply saying it was too bad about the ink stains, but of course that was satisfactory, and etc.

I did not get so much as an email reply. Sigh.

Item was by the way a receipt for a Royal Quiet Deluxe, late 1940's which included the serial #. It would certainly be neat to find the accompanying typewriter some day! However, my filing system leaves room for betterment, so I'm not sure I can find the receipt anymore...
