Excerpt from The Commercial Letter Writer: A Series of Modern and Practical Letters of Business, Trade Circulars, Forms, &C., Selected From Actual Mercantile Correspondence The vast extension of British Commerce, the increased facilities of telegraphic communication, and the rapidity of action thus necessitated, have materially altered the character of business correspondence, especially in London and the large manufacturing towns and shipping ports. Commercial letters now are usually of the briefest character, except with some few Foreign Houses on regular Foreign Mail days. Indeed, orders and communications are mostly carried on by memoranda of a few lines, written on slips with printed headings. Stiff, formal business letters are, therefore, quite out of fashion, and those used very different to the pedantic and precise letters which are usually put forth as guides to business correspondence. As affording fairer samples of commercial letters - although they may not reach the ambitious style of pedantic authorities - I have preferred selecting various bonâ fide letters from a large mass of correspondence, to concocting special models.
