Do you really believe he had the time to read 10 letters every day? Even at 5 minutes per letter that'd take 50 minutes. I just don't see how that's possible.

- cyberferret 10y agoI learned long ago that what I do, or do not believe is achievable, is not applicable to 99.99999% of the general population.
- d23 10y agoI'm not sure why you're putting 5 minutes per letter in there. I'm sure he's a well-read guy. It's not crazy to think he could get through a one page letter in a minute or less.
- general_ai 10y agoSome people receive responses, so if he wrote them himself you need to factor that in as well.
- hirsin 10y agoFTA - he sent notes back in the margins for responses, and only occasionally wrote letters back personally.
- nicpottier 10y agoThe article has sample letters, they don't seem overly long. Maybe figure 3 minutes average? So closer to 30? Don't see any reason we should doubt it considering the apparatus that was in place to make sure he could and it was a stated goal.
