world before ubiquitous communication

We still have a large collection of letters written to our parents and the letters we received from them. In an era of email/facebook/twitter, these handwritten notes are especially heart-warming- they represent a big part of the person and the past.

"MY letters! all dead paper, mute and white!
And yet they seem alive and quivering
Against my tremulous hands which lose the string
And let them drop down on my knee to-night..."

(Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
