Perhaps the author has not lived in a time, where postal services would have more than one delivery during the day. At its height, postal services in Copenhagen would have up to seven daily deliveries.
My dad recalls in the late 1970s sending a postcard to his then-girlfriend, basically saying 'see you on Thursday'. Text messages replaced these kinds of letters, but the notion text messages dawned a new form of communication is a bit mistaken. It made it more widely available, and over greater distances than before.
Nothing wrong with writing a letter like that (but these days, why would you?), and similarly, nothing wrong with writing an email like that.
- gamegoblin 4y agoThis is something that you get a bit of a picture of reading classic Sherlock Holmes stories. Sherlock is always sending and receiving correspondence at a rate that makes no sense to the modern reader, but at that time in London, mail was delivered as frequently as 12 times per day.
