Eau, now I'm all atwitter. Who was writed a note to whom? And were they using black ink on white stationary?

Never used 'em on an a verandah, though.

At this very minute, old chap, I am engaged in the construction of a 'Stationary Village'.  So far I have only got as far as establishing a Postcard and Pen Corner:
