Thanks to a good transaction with Recoil Rob I have the two letters he posted about a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would share them with y'all! The letters- one from Charles Jeffery, London and the return letter from Abercrombie and Fitch USA.    Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate. Do not be uneasy about me, for I am with my friends." ----- David Crockett in his last letter (to his children), January 9th, 1836 "I will never forsake Texas and her cause. I am her son." ----- Jose Antonio Navarro, from Mexican Prison in 1841 "for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Arbroath April 6, 1320-“. . .It is not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.” | ||

That is very cool. I also found it very interesting to note how quickly the mail made it between London and NYC in 1911. Almost 100 years later is still takes more than double that amount of time to get a letter/parcel from around here to London. | |||

I doubt you could find anyone under thirty today who could write in cursive like that second letter. | |||
