+Correspondences take two forms; brief correspondance (probably Story
+Related) and ongoing correspondance on a particular subject.  
+
+Corresponders are assumed to keep a copy of their own letters.
+
+If you are having an ongoing correspondance:
+
+* on a theme that relates to your _research_ or _reading_
+* in which you have read all the previous letters
+* which you have received a letter in during the current season
+
+then you may take an additional xp in that season.  Only one extra xp
+may be taken this way.
+
+If you have an ongoing correspondance:
+
+* which has lasted for two years since you last produced a bound volume
+* at least 24 letters have been exchanged in that time
+
+then you can [[group the letters together|WritingBooks]] for
+production of a book of correspondance.
+
+In general, since we're at a Mercere House, the mimumum time for a
+letter round trip will be one month.
+
+Magi are assumed to have one active correspondance at the start of
+play.
+
+If you want you may exchange correspondance with your sodales;
+provided all the communication on the topic is in writing.
