Thanks for your kind comments on my Of Tr...Hi Joan,<br />Thanks for your kind comments on my Of Trolls and Lemons posts for the COG! I see you have a very nice blog yourself. I love old letters. The last few months I have been working on transcribing my grandfather's diary, and it is hard work! He wrote it during his 1915 - 1916 school year, when he was 15 years old, and it is in old-fashioned Italian (and old-fashioned handwriting). But I love every minute of discovering someone else's thoughts. It seems you do, too. Best, Astrid.Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434175537509093484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-6647697463517370782010-05-04T06:30:19.407-07:002010-05-04T06:30:19.407-07:00Thanks for the Congratulations by the way.
I have ...Thanks for the Congratulations by the way.<br />I have a couple of thoughts I'd like to express about your blog post. <br /><br />I was wondering how you got the letters.<br />And I was just musing that maybe the parents said to him when his first siblings were born that it was an older brother thing to do. that's Kind of thought provoking about the times or something done today too? Not sure.<br /><br />These letters are a good find. And they sure do reflect the times.A rootdiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642330951208433671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-37391997431975650762010-05-03T09:38:36.224-07:002010-05-03T09:38:36.224-07:00How nice!
