I like the way she started this letter in particular. Very sweet. <br /><br />My family has some old letters that were written by and written to my ancestors. Such a treasure. A few letters from England in 1887, some letters by my great great grandmother in 1893, and some more recent letters as well. They reveal so much information about what was going on back then. A very exciting find recently for me was a "Dear John" letter written to my great great grandfather in 1893. How that survived is a mystery, but it was an amazing find.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Van Landryhttp://history.jciv.com/2017/06/surplus-sunday-the-bucklinkeysausmanmacvey-connections/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-67456041530959169012017-03-27T21:01:16.983-04:002017-03-27T21:01:16.983-04:00Thank you so much for reading my post!

As far as the name Didy, your suggestion is a good one, however there is no one with a name similar in the family. Hopefully, the mystery of who she is referring to will be solved! Glad to meet another Carolina girl!!

I love to read old letters. <br /><br />While I don't have the hard copies, I have digital copies that a cousin shared with me of a letter that my Papa wrote to my uncle (his oldest son) who was in the US Army. My Uncle Bobby Joe came home in a box after an accident in Germany. My papa kept the letter in a special box along with the letter from Uncle Bobby's commanding officer about his death along with another government form relating to his death. <br /><br />What is the chance that "Didy" could mean Dee Dee or something like that? Do you have an aunt named Dee Dee or something that could be along those lines?<br /><br />Thank you for sharing these great letters with us. Have a blessed evening.<br /><br />Your sis in Christ, Suz (another Carolina girl!)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.com
