Field notes
The page asks visitors to enter a ZIP code to see whether neighbors are writing in their town, then describes a monthly sequence: share interests, have a nearby writer compose a letter, and receive it by post. Writer profiles name places and years lived there; the sample letter is explicitly fictional, while its annotations show how interests such as food and walks would shape a personalized note.
