  • I am trying to get the hang of this new fangled writing machine, but I am not making a shining success of it. However, this is the first attempt I have ever made & yet I perceive I shall soon & easily acquire a fine facility in its use. ... The machine has several virtues.

Of course it saves paper.

None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again on this side of the grave.
