Eight or Nine Wise Words about Letter-Writing is an essay by Lewis Carroll on useful tips for composing, writing, mailing, and recording letters. The essay was published in 1890 by Emberlin and Son as a hardcover booklet consisting of 35 pages of text, followed by four pages of advertising, three pages of illustration, a stamp holder, and an illustration on the back cover. This essay is of some importance in philately because it was part of the "Wonderland" Postage-Stamp-Case, which was first sold in 1889 by Emberlin and Son.There were at least seven editions of the booklet and at least three editions of the stamp case.
