On Progress

I’m currently in the throes of getting ready for a vacation, and so don’t have much material for tonight. But if you need to kill a little time, I’m happy to direct you to this online course on reading English handwriting from 1500-1700. It has instilled me with a moderate understanding of secretary hand and an enormous respect both for those who wrote it and those who can still read it.

Barring unforeseen rebellion in the North or an outbreak of sweating sickness, I will return to posting on Saturday, September 1.
