These are a series of anonymous letters to anonymous recipients.  It will be an ongoing project, but these a few of the first batch.  The only instructions I gave participants when I gave them an envelope with only a return address and a piece of paper was to write on the paper.  I was interested to see if the envelope would tip them that it was a letter.  I really can’t believe how few people got it.  I was mostly interested to see how people use the anonymity through mail, and to see if it would look like the way they used the internet.  I think people felt more accountable using their own hands, because every single letter was kind.  I’m sending them tomorrow, so I will put the responses up when and if they begin to come in!

EDIT: I dropped of about fifteen of them in San Francisco, in the Mission and in Sunset, and in San Carlos, and I felt sad and scared doing it.  I felt sorry in all the ways I could mean that I felt sorry.  I had to google it to make sure but I am sure.  I will continue anyway, and I will record how it feels the next times.
