Long letters

From chapter 10 of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice:

"...a person who can write a long letter, with ease, cannot write ill."

I have loved this quote for so long. We are a modern people who love all things concise. I've never been able to write anything but long so I'm very happy to have Ms. Austen's approval. I suppose this approval actually comes from Miss Bingley, but I'll take what I can get!
