Ms Constance Spry’s Letter Writing Service simply can’t be held responsible for any subsequent love affairs, acts of kindness or general goodwill arising from our service, even given the high likelihood of these occurrences. Nor can we accept liability for letters damaged or lost in the post or kept in a chest of draws never to be sent. Ms Spry is in no way affiliated with Australia Post.

Rose established the service in 2016 to encourage a little romance, nostalgia and quality in our written communication.
