Abstract
‘A penny for my sustenance’. Strategies used by letter writers in the correspondence archive of Willem Albert Scholten
In this article, several letters from the extensive archive of Willem Albert Scholten (1819-1892) are discussed and analysed, in order to discover what strategies were used by the people who asked Scholten for a favour. The letters were chosen to serve as examples of broader trends or because they are exceptions within the archive.
