Abstract: A method and device is described for recording and storing handwritten telephone messages. The device comprises a box structure which houses a roll of duplicating recording paper having a top sheet and a continuous bottom sheet. The roll of paper is unrolled in the box structure and across a writing surface visible through the window area on a front cover plate attached over the front portion of the box structure. The user records the message on one of a plurality of message outlines on the top sheet in the window area. The leading edge of the bottom sheet is attached to a sleeve member also housed inside the box structure. A handle is attached to the sleeve member which is used to selectively rotate the sleeve member to collect the bottom sheet thereon forming a collection spool which may be removed from the box structure and stored in a convenient location.
