Letters were used by Ralph Waldo Emerson to "celebrate...friendship." Susan Loy has chosen to illuminate texts taken from the actual correspondence of Emerson, Yeats, and Dickinson to create a unique, Literary Letters note card. Each is reproduced from an original watercolor painting by Susan Loy. She chose to illustrate and embellish the texts with elements suggested in or by the letters, such as sunflowers, laurel, and roses. Palm card is Ralph Waldo Emerson's letter to fellow transcendentalist Margaret Fuller, 1840. Sunflower card is William Butler Yeat's letter to fellow Irish poet Kathryn Tynan dated 1888. Rose card is a July 1862 letter to Mrs. Eudora Flynt from Emily Dickinson that contained a flower. The inside of the card is blank to allow the writer to use Literary Letters note cards for any occasion. 9 acid-free cards & 9 envelopes. 3 each of 3 designs.

Emerson quote: "My dear friend, The day is so fine that I must try to draw out of its azure magazines some rays to celebrate our friendship...honor and love to you ever from all gentle hearts, - a wreath of laurel & far better, the wreath of olive & of Palm..." Yeats begins, "This very long letter has grown bit by bit. Several times I thought that it had come to an end, but being no stamps in the near neighborhood, each time adding a bit." He goes on to vividly describe the view from his balcony including, "the sunflowers....all weighted by their heavy seeds." Dickinson quote: "All the letters I could write, Were not fair as this - Syllables of Velvet - Sentences of Plush - Depths of Ruby Undrained - Hid, Lip, for thee, Play it were a Humming Bird And sipped just Me."
