You are meant to care for these letters and I think they must stay with The Freeman House. Perhaps you could copy a few of them and have them framed to display in a special place in your home - then the originals need a safe storage place, perhaps wrapped in archival paper to preserve them.<BR/>It will be so interesting to find out the details of the marriage - hope you can do this!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-73842769439566739662007-05-12T13:31:00.000-05:002007-05-12T13:31:00.000-05:00That is a great find, Brin.

Too bad she had a tough time with her marriage. It would be fun to find out more about her, so I hope you do.<BR/><BR/>RhodaRhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-48361285296889154032007-05-12T13:22:00.000-05:002007-05-12T13:22:00.000-05:00Oh, Brin, do find out if Vannie was her 'besotted ...Oh, Brin, do find out if Vannie was her 'besotted husband...that's a wonderful story....she certainly was a feisty little lady....good for her....<BR/>BettyBettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635572075951871756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-46580811466532481922007-05-12T11:25:00.000-05:002007-05-12T11:25:00.000-05:00Wow, Brin, the Freeman house must be hiding lots o...Wow, Brin, the Freeman house must be hiding lots of other wonderful things.

We had to read them with a magnifying glass. She really put a lot of news on those cards. You have a treasure!!

I'd say that they should have a special place there, with you, in Freeman House. <BR/><BR/>And if you happen to sell Freeman House, sometime down the road, I hope the buyers will love it too. As you have. And as she did. And will continue to keep them, with the house, in some way. I'm sure you could convince them, to do so. :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh and yes! Phuulllleeeeze do a records search! I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be so happy to find out, what you can find, and tell us.<BR/><BR/>Mari-Nancismilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-52793810612936168002007-05-11T14:26:00.000-05:002007-05-11T14:26:00.000-05:00I agree with Kelly, what a incredible find, almost...I agree with Kelly, what a incredible find, almost like the ones on "If walls could Talk" show, I love the finds that are left behind! The more I learn about Freeman House, I"m convinced you were meant to be the one who saves it. Is Mrs. Freeman still alive? She may like to see them before they are returned the wall or framed, either way, I think they need to stay in the house. Maybe I can hitch a ride with Kelly to read those letters! lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747268325270933661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-58024621257108948132007-05-11T12:20:00.000-05:002007-05-11T12:20:00.000-05:00What a priceless, amazing find!

Maybe when you're old and gray you can tuck them away with some of your own letters for another to find. I love stories like that. My grandfather is 93 and I keep every letter he writes to me. They are part of his history and I will cherish his written words on paper forever.
