The time I spent here this morning was so rewarding -- found lots of book blogs to follow, and I am so thrilled about that captured letter archive being digitized. I wish I could run over there and help them!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to hear that...it's hard for me not to get lost in the book blogs, or so many of the others that I find each week.
ReplyDeleteAs for the captured letter archive, it's so great to hear that they weren't destroyed and will be released. I wonder how much heartache was caused by these letters never reaching their destination so long ago. Families waiting for news of loved ones, proposals never answered, wives telling husbands about the birth of their children..or the loss of family. So many would pass never knowing.
Publishing these so many years after may at least give some answers.
Thanks for your comments, always appreciated.
