Emily Dickinson's Playful Letterlocking (thereader.mitpress.mit.edu)

> on all extra important occasions, such as writing notes for example &, but I will not specify

I think this has been transcribed wrongly, as "&c" has been used in the past as a shorthand for "etc", as the ampersand evolved from a ligature of "et", the latin for "and"

Letterlocking itself is great fun, especially since seal stamps and wax are so cheap nowadays. I highly recommend trying it out by sending letters to friends again.

https://youtube.com/@letterlocking is a great resource, and fountain pen network or similar forums are great for cheap but beautiful fountain pens and ink (also for very expensive variants of the same).
