In letters
of friendship you may use, _Your sincere, friend; Yours affectionately;
Your loving son_ or _daughter_, etc. In business letters you may use,
_Yours; Yours truly; Truly yours; Yours respectfully; Very respectfully
yours_, etc. In official letters you should be more deferential. Use, _I
have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient servant; Very respectfully, your
most obedient servant_; etc., etc.
The Signature consists of your Christian name and your surname. In
addressing a stranger write your Christian name in full. A lady addressing
a stranger should prefix to her signature her title, _Mrs._ or _Miss_
(placing it within marks of parenthesis), unless in the letter she has
indicated which of these titles her correspondent is to use in reply.
+How Written+.--The Conclusion should begin near the middle of the first
line below the Body of the Letter, and, if occupying two or more lines,
should slope to the right like the Heading and the Address. Begin each line
of it with a capital letter, and punctuate as in other writing, following
the whole with a period. The Signature should be very plain.
+Direction+.--_Write two formal notes--one inviting a friend to a social
party, and one declining the invitation._
+Direction+.
