Letter from 1882

[Fermata]

This letter was written by a Master at a boys school in Philadelphia in 1882, I think that it is remarkable, perfect downstrokes and all in parallel, right and left margins are perfect, every loop, every curve is considered and excellent.

I think that that letter is easy to read but then again I have been admiring it for a little too long, it reads:

'Phila November 19 1882

Dear Sir,

It affords me much pleasure to report that your son is making fine progress in his penmanship and that his general deportment is that of a gentleman'

140 years on and these remain worthy goals.
