I received my first letter today! I'm very excited! Now I'm off to find a suitable pen to write my own letters...

I'm sending off my first letter (finally)! I don't think I actually mananged to write in Regency vernacular. Maybe I need to get out one of Jane Austen's novels. That usually gets me in the mind and mood of the Regency

Oh dear. I am afraid that I don't know how to check my personal messages on this board! Can anyone guide me? I'll dash off my first letter tonight, as soon as I can figure out where I am to send it!
Thank you!

Go to the RSA forum home page. Down at the bottom it tells you how many messages you have in your inbox and how many of them are new. You should be able to click on that and get to your inbox

It's definitely never to late to join. Sorry for the delay in response, life has been really busy for a few days.

I would love to be a part of this. I'm new though, and am not used to Regency era language and vernacular apart from what I've read in books. Does anyone have any resources having to do with that, or is it mainly imitation? Anyway, please let me know what happens with this; as I've said, I'd love to participate.

I just imitate and pick up phrases and the like. Regency literature has definitely expanded my vocabulary! And I think, if you read Regency vernacular enough, then you begin to pick it up, just as you would with any other language (as long as you know enough of the vocabulary!).

I think we are all in various stages of learning. But I highly suggest reading regency era stories, as well as doing a simple google search for Regency Era language. There are a lot of various sources online

I realize I'm not on here much but I would be very interested in joing your little group. I know I'm not as close by as you all, since I'm in California but I would love to join in. I greatly enjoy writing letters. I will privately message nomadicdragon with my address in the hopes that it is not too late to join. ~|Eliza

I completely forgot the pure joy of receiving a letter by post until I received my first of this group! I feel like a kid again But with a decidedly adult pastime in today's digi-age And Eliza, I think we are pretty well spread out across the country; I am on the west coast writing people on the east coast.

For some reason I thought that I was on a strictly Oregon Regency board, a bit after I posted my reply I realized that its the RSA not just Oregon. LOL... The post I put before about not knowing if my pen pal got the letter I wrote on July 4th still stands. I know I mailed it and even put a stamp. (Because I was excited that I bought a new book of stamps even though they weren't pretty. ) I believe our Post mistresses, nomadicdragon, was also waiting to hear back from the lady...

There's something special about getting a letter in the mail. It's exciting and wonderful, and very personal. Not like email or texting. =)

Has everyone successfully exchanged letters? Anyone still waiting to hear from someone after sending a letter? Please be sure to let me know via private message.
And anyone looking to join our little group, please feel free to message me as well.
