Abstract

Bagatelle criticizes the Saturday Press for publishing the private correspondences of Tony Gaggles, a fault which he argues will cause people to write highly edited letters as opposed to the informal, naturally sloppy (and sweet) ones they currently write; Bagatelle cites the difference between hastily written private love letters and the formal and public epistles of the Ladies of the Revolution.
