Greetings from Finland.
At school we were learning how to end a business letter. Our teacher (and the material she gave us) said that yours truly, truly yours, very truly yours etc. are all American ways to end a letter.
Can you natives tell me is this true and/or was it true in 1888? Because it would tell at least something about the writer of the letter (or letters, I'm somewhat new to the case so I'm not sure how many letters ended with this line), regardless of him being a murderer or not. Could he be an American or at least someone who's either written letters to or recieved them from America?
This is propably a somewhat insignificant point to make but tell me what you think. |

I am American. It is very common here to end letters that way. However I don't know if it is unique to my country. |
