Letters from the Past will post letters I found in my family memorabilia. After the painstaking task of transcribing the letters, I will post them here with any photos I may have of the people. Follow the stories of love, lost, and migration starting from the 1870's in Kansas.
Do you know by what name I can look up paper that is as high quality as the paper used in 1880?
ReplyDeleteIn addition to my querie, your piece was rather informative and your excitement contagious. I am an enthusiast of letter writing as well as life in the 1800's.
Thank you for you time,
Allison
