Dear Mother,
Appreciated your note yesterday. And the little poem was so nice – probably shouldn’t of called, but wanted to talk to you – hope to see Frank too.
It helped to get moved back up town yesterday; at least I know what I was doing – Ate lunch at the banks cafeteria – lobster newburg, cottage cheese, etc – even “lusted” over on “sweet tater” pie – Anytime you or Va want to eat up there, just come on –
Mary Jane & Mrs. Miller asked me to eat with them today – Janice Jones (the nurse in Oratonio) and I are going to supper Friday nite before the rehearsal at the auditorium at 9:00 –
Saw Mr. Motley Plonk & Thad Harrison yesterday – Asked about you – Mr. Poter looked a little better.
Dropped by and gave Mr. Tibbs a few cigars – his birthday – he had a real bad day – he asked about you too.
Hope the sun will soon come out as to help all our morales – and the “mess” in the basement too –
All My Love –
Frances

I’ve been scouring eBay for months looking to buy someone’s old journal or diary. Reading about these people’s lives and what they did, even the most mundane things interests me. The only problem is, old handwritten journals and diaries are expensive! There’s really not that big of a market for it, only a handful of them are available that reach into the $200’s and above.. So the next best thing I thought would be old letters so once I switched my search to Etsy.com for old letters, bingo! I was on my way to starting a new collection. Fast forward 2 weeks and I’m now in possession of over 50 letters that I’ve decided to type up and post on here to let everyone else read and enjoy them as well. So look forward to a new feature here on (semi)creative genius, The Forgotten Mailbox. Each week I’ll post another letter from the same person until I move on to the next. If possible I’m going to link to things they’re talking about in the letters, recipes, maps of where they lived, etc to make it a more interactive experience.
