Daily in the museum profession we read old letters, cards, business records, military reports, etc. Without these we would have no history. Sometimes these hand-written documents provide us with the necessary information to track a business or follow the flow of a battle. At times, they provide us with the information to follow a migrating family from the coast to where they settled on the continent. Letters tell us of family, religion, education and yes, even romance.
So take the time to reach out in writing to those you know and love. They will certainly appreciate it and who knows, you may be leaving an historical record that posterity will use to form that so critical bridge between today and tomorrow.

You are so right, don't you just getting a real letter, note or card. I love looking back at cards I've received and just recognizing the handwriting before you see the return address is so fun!
