A letter carries words, but the Bell Service has been brought up to such a point of perfection that the modulations of the voice are clearly heard. The cheery tones show that the talker is well and in good spirits. The call may conte from a suburban village or a distant city, but within the limits of the carrying power of the voice the Bell Service carries the tone as well.
