the art of the epistle

people of a certain age remember having to end their letters, yours faithfully, or less rigidly, yours sincerely.

these days emails end with, blessings. or, emmanuel. this seems to be a new, affirming, trend. i favor, regards, which i find un-maudlin and helpfully non-emotional. J1's coach is always energetically, go saxons! some people do not sign off at all, and lately, some have a final line, sent from my iphone.

's okay. st paul's closings are yards longer than emmanuel.
