CXXXIV.--TO FANNY KEATS.

/*
Wentworth Place [February 11, 1820].
*/

My dear Fanny--I am much the same as when I last
wrote. I hope a little more verging towards improvement.
Yesterday morning being very fine, I took a walk
for a quarter of an hour in the garden and was very much
refresh'd by it. You must consider no news, good news--if
you do not hear from me the day after to-morrow.

Your affectionate Brother

/*
<sc>John</sc>.

Letter closing

The complementary closing ("Your affectionate Brother") has the same indentation as a regular paragraph, so it does not need to be marked with block quotes or no-wrap. We move the signature down to its own line, however, and it gets no-wrap to show right-justification.

Complete and incomplete sentences

The signature itself is part of a larger sentence, so the period goes outside the small caps tags.

Major and minor divisions

Here, the Project Comments said each letter is a chapter.
