They were the forerunner of today's selfies, right?! "Bound letters"--WOW! Just yesterday my husband and I were talking of a box that has our letters written during his years in the military--a record of our first years of marriage. I've not looked in that box YEARS. I also have a very small cedar chest with my dad and mom's love letters written before they married. And I have another box of my dad's letters to me during my college years.
