Dear Honey, I just got three letters from you today and your mail sure helps to brighten my day. You will never know how much your letters cheer me up every time I read them.Â
In 2004, Alfredo Carrion Jr. bought a house on South Queen Street and was cleaning out his third-floor attic when he came across an old barrel. Inside the barrel, he found letters from the 1940s and â50s. They were written by an American soldier in the Army, who was stationed in Germany.
âOut of curiosity, I started reading them,â Carrion, 40, says. âAnd I noticed he was writing to his wife. Theyâre beautifully written; you could tell he was madly in love with his wife.âÂ
