“Holding an original letter, or manuscript, in your hands, is an incredible connection with the writer and their times. You are seeing what they saw, holding what they held, as if you were sitting beside them, witnessing the flow of words from their pen to this paper. This is both humbling and inspiring. They are a real person, with hopes, ideas, concerns and aspirations. Original letters and manuscripts bring them to life. Here is a human story.”
