March 2022 Newsletter.

Hello Letter Lovers...

Lucky in Letters 💌

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Dublin! Every day I feel lucky to be working with the letters and stories of the archive but I want to take today for a chance to say thank you to you, reader! Thank you for sharing your stories and spreading the word about the archive so that we can keep the histories of these handwritten letters safe. 

Letter Society

The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society is a gem in the constellation of letter writing! If you love letters you can learn more about joining this community, here. I am a card carrying member since November 2020! I bring my badge with me when I travel -- here we are in Paris, France last October. Note the French Postboxes!

Donate a Letter

Would you like to write more letters but not sure who to send them to? That's no problem! Learn more about the From Me To You 'Donate a Letter' project here. From Me To You will send your donated letters to folks experiencing the isolation and challenges of cancer diagnosis and treatment. 

New Series

In late 2021, a reader of the archive -- Hi Kareena! -- got in touch and sent a long a number of vintage Postcards. Click below to read "Miss.Caufield Postcards".

Letter Writing Workshop

Long time readers of the newsletter will remember my talking about the Letters Connect workshops of 2021.They're back-- this time rather than every month the workshops are run quarterly through From Me To You and I cannot wait to get back together with the letter pals! The next one is March 29th. Come along! Click below to learn more.

Such tender thought and care goes into the stationery boxes and that's just one tenth of how wonderful the actual event is!

From the Desk

This is where I like to share posts from the blog for easy reading! 

February's "Book About Letters" was "Letters to the Lost" by Iona Grey. Click below for my thoughts on this seminal classic in the historical fiction genre and for a bit on why the accurate representation of letters in literature is the hill I will die on!

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.

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.
