What are some good Epistolary books?

I thought Humphrey Clinker was sweet and I'm sorry I'd forgotten it. As I remember, the letters are from a wider range of personalities than in Pamela or Clarissa - for all its length, there are only four significant correspondents in Clarissa - Clarissa, Lovelace and their confidantes.

If those memoirs were shipped over the mail then they were in fact, and law, and in theory "epistolary". LOL!!!
