KEPT FOR THE FAMILY
The paper. The words.
The little things.
This collection begins with Joan’s letters to John. The original pages and envelopes are kept together, so you can read each letter just as it was written.
Dates come from the letters and their postmarks. Where a year is uncertain, a note explains it. Choose “Read typed letter” for a plain-text transcription, or read the original photos. Brackets mark words that could not be read with confidence. The short descriptions are reading guides.
