About 35 years ago I saw some letters that were written by a woman in Pennsylvania at the beginning of the 20th century. I think it was called something like "cross writing". It was used to save paper. First you write a letter on a page as you normally would, then to continue the letter you turn the page 90 degrees and write across what you have already written. It saved paper but was very difficult to read.
