Title: A Challenge for anyone with nothing better to do just now.
Post by: LoneyBones on Friday 31 May 13 01:13 BST (UK)

Hi,
I came across this on my local news channel, since we don't get a lot of chatters from the US I thought this might get a few people out of their comfort zone.

I'm so glad they've been found.  :D
It's such a fascinating story.
What I want to know is.... where has the letter been all this time?

PS. It'd a great way to promote Family History as a vocation. addiction.  ;D
