Field notes
For complaints, the guide recommends stating what happened, when, and any reference number, then naming a remedy and date while keeping the tone even. Its materials section explains that fountain-pen-friendly paper depends on surface sizing, and that water-soluble dye inks can run if an envelope gets wet. The supplied extract also points to posting advice, including hand-stamping a sealed letter.
