Once a month · By hand · By mail
A real letter from someone in your town.
Once a month, a neighbor sits down with a pen and writes to you. It is about your town, written for you, with stuff you will not find in the newsletter. It comes in the mail with a real stamp.
Your address only goes to our mail desk. Your writer gets your first name, your town, and what you like. That is it. Stop anytime, no phone call.

Dear Sarah,
You said you like old houses and a good walk, so this one is for you. The stone place on the corner by the library was a tavern before it was anything else. Stand across the street and you can still see where the old front door got bricked in.
My tip for this month: go Saturday right at 8, before the market gets busy. Get the apple cider donuts from the stand at the far end. Trust me.
Your neighbor,
Margaret
Marshallton
P.S. The big oak on your street turns first every year. Watch for it.
How a letter gets to you
Tell us your town
And what you like. Old houses, a good walk, the Saturday market. Your writer uses that. They never see your street.
A neighbor writes
Someone who lives near you sits down with a pen. They sign their first name and their town.
We address, stamp, and mail
Our mail desk writes the envelope. A real First-Class stamp. It shows up the same week every month.

Meet the writers
Writers live in or near your town. Every letter is signed with a first name and town. These cards are stand-ins until the first writers are on the page with permission.
