I recently received a treasure trove of about 150 old letters that had been written to my great-great-grandmother's brother in the 1890s. They were found in an old house's attic crawl space when some remodeling was being done. The person who found the letters was able to contact me because she got my name and e-mail address from the county library nearest the house. C.
