Throughout the history of mankind, note writing has played an important role in communications and the development of important relationships.
Note writing goes back as far as cavemen (or more accurately, cavewomen) writing on the walls of their caves. With charcoal from the fire, the wife of a caveman would create a picture that clearly told her husband, "Pick up a bison and two extra spears before you come home."
[Archeologists are probably still trying to translate the cave paintings, but that is what we think it says.]
Note writing took a major step forward when the Egyptians invented papyrus (an early form of paper). Note writing took on a much greater importance in society and in particular, with the ruling class: "Note to Pharaoh: The Pyramid is falling behind schedule. More stones needed."
The Romans and Greeks advanced society's use of the written word, but unfortunately much of their notes have been lost to history. One small note, probably from a parent instructing their child, was on the art of clothing preparation, most likely related to the use of a toga. The note was found in the original Latin: "Semper Ubi Sub Ubi" which translates to "Always wear under wear".
In the Middle Ages, people wrote notes with Quills [feathers] dipped in ink.
The Wild West of the United States was created and tamed in part by note writing and the incredible delivery efforts of the
Pony Express!
In more recent times, notes were an integral part of history. Communication and international relations between governments over large distances was accomplished in large part by written notes.
