Where can i find an example of an old fashion written letter?

We Answered:

You should read Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's written as a series of journal entries and letters.

I should specify the letters between Mina and Lucy are full of affection. And of course Mina's journal entries about Jonathan and vice-versa. Look in chapters 7 - 9 and you'll find some inspiration, I'm sure.
