	Dead Letters and Melville's Bartleby
		A letter viewed in its nominal and more suggestive light, conveys the impression of good news, cheering suggestions, pleasant surprises, or perhaps the reverse of these, bad tidings, woe, sorrow; but always some stirring and awakening impulses are to be derived out of a letter--whether they be good or ill, for pleasure or for pain.
		Many letters, thus returned, find their owners here, and the little pittance, which thoughtful friends had intended to aid in bringing then out of the land of starvation to that of promise and of plenty, is drawn at the counters of the bankers who issued the draft.
		The letters are opened, read, stamped with the stamp of the D. Bureau, and entered, by number, under the letter in the alphabet, corresponding with the initial of,the surname, of the addressed.

		Once opened, the contents of letters were considered sacred, so much so that the dead letter clerks were—and still are—forbidden to read any more of the communications than absolutely necessary to determine where the letters should go.
		At the end of the 19th century it was not uncommon for the clerks in the Dead Letter Office to handle as many as 23,000 pieces of "dead" mail daily.
		On an average, over 80,000 of the letters and packages forwarded to the Dead Letter Office at that time didn't contain any address at all, and on much of the rest, the information provided was either incomplete or so poorly written that the addressee could not be found.

	Dead Letters: an excerpt from Speaking into the Air by John Durham Peters
		The Dead Letter Office is often called "the morgue of the mails" and "the limbo of undeliverable mail." Limbo is the place of oblivion where the souls remain who cannot enter heaven owing to incorrect addressing (such as lack of baptism).
		Dead letters are, in an Augustinian mode, emblematic of our mortal state, prone to become lost in transit.
		The contents of the Dead Letter Office are melancholy props of an enormous dereliction, that of the unclaimed dead, the unredeemed.

	The Dead Letter Office
		The central theme of the "dead letters" paragraph of Melville's story is missed connections: the letters are dead because they do not, in the usual living way, reach the addressee with the cheering message, or the love expressed by the enclosed ring, or the money necessary for charity.
		From such a description, Melville extracts, and changes, one telling detail: "by the cart-load they are annually burned." But, as a subordinate clerk in Washington's dead letter office, Bartleby would have undertaken the duties that Copcutt describes.
		Should the letters contain money or other valuables, they are laid on a side-table, and a recording-clerk ranges them alphabetically, in the boxes prepared for that purpose, and writes to the writer of the letter, stating that it has been received.

		The roof leaks, most of the employees seem to be on the verge of nervous breakdowns, and the head of the operation is a big fan of Richard Nixon.
		The postal inspectors conclude that this is evidence of a serial killer, and they use the specialized techniques of their trade (handwriting analysis, knowledge of stamps, and even the consultation of a psychic) to track him down.
		For much of the book, their efforts are somewhat half-hearted, since they expect the case to be taken away from them by the FBI glamor-boys at any moment; but Eamon and Bunko slog forward anyway, and pick up clues that the FBI has missed.

	Duotrope's Digest - Publication Details: Dead Letters
		Dead Letters is a 'zine devoted to artistic and literary expressions of the zombie apocalypse, a horror subgenre pioneered by the films of George A. Romero and expanded upon by countless others in the intervening years since Night of the Living Dead's 1968 debut.

		The Rasmus were already massive rock stars in their native Finland, as well as various other parts of Europe, by the time Dead Letters was finally released in the UK in March 2004.
		Boasting hook-heavy guitars and anthemic lyrics, most of the tracks on Dead Letters sound tailor-made for radios and stadiums, from hit single "In the Shadows" to the urgent "In My Life", which has an epic, fists-in-the-air chorus worthy of later Bon Jovi.
		'Dead Letters' is the fifth album by the Finnish hard-rock/nu-metal act The Rasmus but the first to break through to the UK.

	Tom Piccirilli's THE DEAD LETTERS book review
		In The Dead Letters, Tom brings you Horror, Thriller, and Mystery, along with a rare fourth, genuine Suspense.
		The murders of the children are curing him of his insanity.
		Unfortunately, the letters that Eddie gets throughout the story become more and more goofy, instead of insane, not simply breaking the mood with the lightness of humor, but destroying it.

		And even as they lead Whitt to a deadly cult—and closer to his prey—he begins to suspect that, like his wife, he’s losing his grip on reality: Sarah’s dollhouse is filled with eerie activity, as if her murder never occurred.
		Dead Letters does have some effective moments (the weirdo Prott family in particular), but Eddie Whitt, who comes across as some sort of Mike Hammer-as-grieving-father-on-a-mission-of-vengeance, wears on you - and quickly.
		The Dead Letters is still chock full of odd characters caught up in surreal situations, all told in the unique and lovely voice that so many have come to adore.

	Knock 'em Dead :: Letters And Calls Advance Your Candidacy
		Follow-up letters and calls also advance your candidacy because employers are most likely to hire the people they remember, and your actions serve to maintain what is referred to in advertising as Top Of Mind Awareness, which is achieved through repetition of the advertising message.
		There are opportunities for follow-up thru emails, letters and phone calls, your delivery mediums changing with the time constraints of a given situation.
		If the decision is two weeks out you have time for a phone call now, an email to arrive later this week, a letter in the middle of next week, and perhaps another call a few days before decision time.

		The rapidly shifting landscape outside seemed to exist solely as a backdrop to Dead Letters’ creation.
		What I am basically is trying to say is that 11 Instances of Dead Letters+Words manages to sound incredibly rural and urban at the same time, mixing warmth and frost in a remarkably precise way.

		P.S Perhaps you could find some dead Australian lawyers to add to the site...I assure you they're just as bad down under as they are in the US.
		I agree with Alberto Batista's letter of 23 December 1998.
		As a lawyer, and in the long line of acting tradition maintained by our profession and best exemplified by OJ's lawyers, I was truly shocked and amazed, shocked that such a site had not been previously promulgated by Justice Clarence Thomas, and amazed that it had been done so well, even by non-attorneys.

		If she is looking for a wide readership me and you, Big D, are not the dead pals to use.

	Big Dead Place :: Letters
		All I'm certain of is that the bar at the end of the galley creates a weird social atmosphere, that the interior color scheme made me want to drool on myself and eat crayons, and that, because there's not enough food storage, the cooks have to store food in the laundry room downstairs.
		In your first email to Big Dead Place you asked whether, once you got a job here as a dishwasher, you'd be able to have some "adventure time" in Antarctica, and whether you'd have a chance to fly to Pole.
		I very much enjoyed your letter because, though it is a great letter in itself, for years I have been a fan of yours.

		'Dead Letters' isn't too long, but it's not too short either.
		By the time the cello lead 'Funeral Song' brings the album to a close, you're just getting an understanding of the band, without being bored as of yet.
		Throughout the nineties bands were more concerned with sounding like their heroes, while The Rasmus are on the first wave of bands more concerned with sounding like themselves.

		To follow up a monster of an album like "Into" isn't an easy task, but I'm glad to say that The Rasmus has done it with style.
		"Dead Letters" is the perfect successor, which shows that the band has matured.
		The sound is a bit heavier, darker and moodier, but the hooks and the melodies are still there.

	What Happens to Dead Letters at the Post Office's Mail Recovery Center? - Associated Content
		One of American literature's most famous characters, Bartleby the Scrivener, was said to have been employed as a dead letter office clerk.
		For Bartleby, a nineteenth century fictional character, the dead letter office was no doubt a depressing, unhopeful place.
		Besides giving a positive spin to the concept of a dead letter office by focusing on the mail that is actually recoverable, the other change in the name – a shift from “letter” to “mail” - reminds us that they handle all kinds of packages.
