Welcome to the Blog Version of Whispering Letters

and the ongoing presentation of letters between two people who apparently learned to love each other, married and lived a long happy life. They were real people. Their names have been changed to protect the innocent.

These whispering letters were found during a search for original documents for www.onegreatdate.com. They were purchased from an estate auction, but I just could not bring myself to separate them since they have been together for almost 115 years. The letters themselves are not for sale.

Someone placed them in the auction because they must not have considered them valuable. We do, not only for their monetary value, but for their window to the past and a time that was different and curiously the same. The value is in the lessons we can learn and the dreams created when we let our imaginations float free.

We celebrate today’s link to the past and all its newness by defining some unfamiliar terms referencing places, events and things that have survived through the ages.

These letters are being entered as they are read, therefore they will be entered in order where possible. However, keep checking because they will be times when earlier dates are discovered and entered. They will be identified by date. As we see it, putting the emotions together in that way may in fact be intriguing.

We are excited about connecting yesterday with today. Enjoy the journey!
