I got a sense of this just from reading the letters. Linnea described wonderfully the free-flowing, non-linear, multi-dimensionality of UNs letter-writing style.

Maybe this is also what made her the "dear genius" of an editor that she was -- she must have been well in tune with how to express emotion and humor with very simple language.
