Correspondence inquiry
What does correspondence mean in these sentences?
Thanks for your correspondence.
I received a very late correspondence.
I appreciate your correspondence.
Can correspondence mean receiving or sending a message, and not only the exchange of messages. So in other words if I just received a message without replying would that be a correspondence?

Hi Yes, correspondence can be one-way. I understand what you're saying - that a correspondence should be a message and a reply but, in English, we can use the word to mean just one message. There doesn't have to be an exchange of messages - I will reply to your correspondence, in full, tomorrow [= You've written to me; I've never heard of you before; but I will deal with your letter] Dave

Thank you so much. So it can mean a one-way message or an exchange of messages. Also, I am assuming that the examples I have written are correct. Right?
