Hello Letter Lovers...

"Salutation" 💌

This March our "Book About Letters" installment was a special one -- one we're in! Check out our blog here for some of our thoughts on this truly surreal experience.



To celebrate the publication of 'Write for Your Life' by Anna Quindlen we're holding a giveaway for a copy! Find this post on Instagram and follow the directions there to be in for a chance to win. 


Postbox Saturday is 100!

Join us in celebrating the 100th occasion of Postbox Saturday! 



Started by friend of the archive Dinah, founder of The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society, consider posting your postbox appreciation this Saturday April 23rd on Twitter using the hashtag "#Postboxsaturday". 


Widower's Lost Love Note 

At Flea Market Love Letters we love to hear of lost letters making their way home. That is quite happily the case with this story. This long-lost 1945 note, penned by his late wife Virginia, was returned to 96 year old Rolf Christoffersen in 2017. 


The Roth's are Back

Readers who enjoyed the Roth Letters when we first shared them in 2021 will be happy to know that Nelda and Kaye are back! 



In December 2021 we were generously gifted an earlier series of Roth letters which we began sharing in Spring 2022. You can catch up, here. 


Write More Letters

If you're a letter lover, snag a 'Write More Letters' Mug, Shirt, or Tote all available here. All proceeds from the 'Write More Letters' Project go to the charity Hope For The Warriors which helps U.S Veterans and Military Families.



Prefer a Write More Letters sticker? For every $5 that you donate directly to Hope For The Warriors we'll send you 3 WML stickers. Just donate, send us a screenshot (be sure to include your address in the message!) and we'll take care of the rest. 


"Collector Corner"

This is where I like to share articles, videos, interviews etc. Basically, all things letters from around the Internet! Do you know of an interesting letter story? Reply to this email and I will feature it in an upcoming newsletter. 


A Letter on Lincoln's Assassination 

In this clip from the Antiques Road Show the appraiser considers the value of a letter detailing the first-hand account of witnessing President Abraham Lincoln's assassination on April 14th, 1865. Not one to miss!
