Power of the Letter
Today, it's easy to forget the value of a heartfelt, handwritten letter or card. But the written word holds a singular place in the American story.
In his prolific correspondence, John Adams left us a remarkable first-person account of the birth of our nation, as well as a candid portrait of his life and personal relationships. John and his wife Abigail's letters offer a window to our past; we can be inspired to revive this tradition, to return to the enduring power of the written word, and leave a legacy for future generations.
And to celebrate letter writing, First-Class Mail® letters will be postmarked with our special Power of the Letter cancellation in February and March.
I saw this on a receipt from the post office too. I went on the site and got a free card and the shipping and postage for me to send it was paid too! then i saw the same quote from the receipt on the outside of a letter i got yesterday..it's all pretty cool.
