Letters

These letters came from a trunk on a sleeping porch in the old home shown below. They had not been disturbed for decades when they were passed on to me.

Home

These photographs of an old home and its contents were taken over a period of many years. No one lived there for decades although some of the contents remained. Weather, age, and lack of use took their toll.
