A study of soldiers in the University of Denver
A study of soldiers in the University of Denver:
Handwritten mail delivers more cheer than an electronic exchange, according to the study. It also reduces the emotional load of unknown or frightening circumstances. In a study of 193 soldiers recently returned from deployment, those who received letters from family and friends had fewer symptoms of post-traumatic stress than those who had communicated through email, instant messaging and video chat. "These days, letters are relatively rare, so writing and sending one is a sign of commitment," says coauthor of the study Howard Markman, Ph.D., University of Denver

Mother Teresa's letter to Archbishop
Place: Asansol, India Date: 25th January 1947
Mother Teresa wrote to Archbishop Periea seeking permission to begin work with the poorest of the poor (only a few lines are written below)
Your Grace,
The longing to give all to our Lord and make many souls do the same remains the same.
I am aware that if the work begins than there will be plenty of loneliness, suffering & humiliations for me.
I have been burning with longing to love Him as He as never been loved before.
Please excuse this paper as I have no other kind. I am practicing Franciscan poverty.
It is lovely to be poor and to be free from so many things.
Pray for me
Your devoted child in Jesus Christ
Mary Teresa
