A letter is a letter and quill that has been folded, which prevents its text from being edited and allows copies of it to be crafted.
Can be sealed, mailed or placed on a wall.

Obtaining

Folding

Letters can be obtained by folding a letter and quill. After it has been folded, it cannot be edited again.
Unlike written books, letters do not have title or an author.

Copying

A folded letter can be copied using a crafting table by crafting it with letter and quill.
Letters do not have a generation and can be copied indefinitely.

Usage

Letters can be opened by pressing the use control, to display a GUI allowing the player to read it.
