Most correspondence would most likely be digitized. But I'm sure there would be a few letters and maybe some small packages. For mostly nostalgia's sake or very special occasions.

That is assuming of course that:

1: We actually colonize Mars.

2: We have an active long term colony.

3: We have shipping routes between the two worlds.

If all that works out and there is a shipping/courier route making regular trips between the two the cost will be lower. But that would be way off in the future.

Oh wow, at some point in our future tgere will be the first letter produced entirely on Mars sent to Earth. I wonder if it will be a card, "Happy Birthday Earth" or maybe "Wish you were here"?
