         DefinitionShort: an object containing writing addressed to one or more persons{N:002}

         Glosses: letter (normally written on papyrus)

         Comments: In some languages it may be necessary to try to distinguish between a letter as an object and a letter as content or message. In {S:04402303300018} the focus seems to be upon the letter as an object, not necessarily upon the contents of the document. In most contexts, however, it is impossible to distinguish between a letter as a material object and a letter as a message (see {D:33.48}).
