Wilson. For forms of addressing persons with titles, as Mayor, see under that title--as, Mayor, Governor. The letters may end, Sincerely yours, or Very truly yours, or I remain yours with kindest regards. The signature of a man should be John J. Wilson or J. Jones Wilson. An unmarried woman should sign social letters as Minnie Wilson, and a business letter as Miss Minnie Wilson. A married woman should sign a social letter as Agnes Wilson. In signing a business letter, a married woman may either sign her name Mrs. Agnes Wilson, or, preferably, Agnes Wilson (Mrs. John Wilson) AFTERNOON CALLS. These should be made between three and half-past five, and if possible on regular at home days. |
