It
is
an
extraordinary
fact,
that
persons
who
have
received
a
good
education,
and
who
use
their
pens
frequently,
will
often,
in
writing
notes,
commence
in
the
third
person
and
then
use
the
second
or
first
personal
pronoun,
and
finish
by
a
signature;
thus--
Miss
Claire's
compliments
to
Mr.
James,
and
wishes
to
know
whether
you
have
finished
reading
my
copy
of
"Jane
Eyre,"
as
if
Mr.
James
had
finished
it,
I
would
like
to
lend
it
to
another
friend.
Sincerely
yours,
ELLA
CLAIRE.
The
errors
in
the
above
are
too
glaring
to
need
comment,
yet,
with
only
the
alteration
of
names,
it
is
a
copy,
verbatim,
of
a
note
written
by
a
well
educated
girl.
Never
sign
a
note
written
in
the
third
person,
if
you
begin
the
note
with
your
own
name.
It
is
admissible,
if
the
note
is
worded
in
this
way:--
Will
Mr.
James
return
by
bearer,
the
copy
of
"Jane
Eyre"
he
borrowed,
if
he
has
finished
reading
it,
and
oblige
his
sincere
friend,
