I especially like that last comment and the picture....LOL
So cool. I wish everyone who found old letters would put them on a blog. I'm working on some now from my family, and I love it.
What a find! I think that drawing is almost like Outsider Art! I also love how he signs his letters with his first and last name. That's too cute.
