I was confused by the + signs, I read them like "plus" (is this a common use of this sign?) until I read the scanned letter, which was surprisingly easy to read. The signs looked much more like & ("and") than + to me.
- evincarofautumn 11y agoYes, “+” is often used in handwriting (typically with a loop) to mean “and”. In casual speech or when teaching mathematics to young students, “+” can be pronounced “and”, as in “one and one make two”.
