Crossed Letter plans three monthly publications that pair historical material with notes on what we know now, printed and posted in England.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.

For: Readers who enjoy history in print
Worth noticing: The Shackleton excerpt is paired with a blue “crosswise” note, echoing the site’s explanation of two voices crossing on a letter.

Field notes

The name refers to a historical letter-writing practice: writers turned a filled page a quarter turn and wrote across their own lines to save postage. Crossed Letter uses that image for its pairing of source material and a present-day note. The site identifies the operation as a trading name of MERÚ LONDON LTD and says it is printed and posted in England.
