Good afternoon Neera, another great read. Letters are so important to hold onto and so are cards. I went through quite a lot recently to try and make decisions as to which ones to keep, even my husband found it difficult to part with several. I still have a copy of a letter my father wrote to my mother during the Second World War, plus letters written to her prior to her marriage by an admirer, also a letter written to my mother after she had my youngest brother. Many memories to keep. Although not letter writing, this morning I was sorting through some drawers and found a white linen bag with “handkerchiefs” embroidered on the outside, inside is a collection of several handkerchiefs my mother had collected, many that would never have been used, far to pretty and delicate.
