Today, people who text and email use many abbreviations. Can you figure out what the abbreviations from this letter written in 1774 mean?
See the photo. I'll give you the first one, "d" with the raised "r" stands for 'dear'. Gold star if you get them all. BTW: Mary Delany (1700-1788) became a popular artist at age 71. Just search her name and you'll see her flowers which are paper cutout decoupages. They are elegant and lovely.
