I have to tell you, I was hoping that you had found more of her correspondence as I would love to learn more of her story :) Below, from my blogpost, are the contents of that letter in case you are interested:<br /><br />October 10, 2007<br />Miss Lucile<br />Last spring, I found a stack of letters at the Liberty Antique Show. While organizing my craft/guest room, I ran across them again and decided to spend some time reading through them... <br /><br /> <br />They are all posted from May - September 1913 to a Miss Lucile Thomas of Port Norfolk, Virginia. I thought that since I have 6 letters that I would post one a week. I wish that I had posted this first one in May. How wonderful would that have been to be reading a letter exactly 96 years after it was first written? Oh well, I still think that it will be charming. <br /><br />So, here is her first letter...<br /><br />Salem, Virginia<br /><br />May 27, 1913<br /><br />Dear Lucile, <br /><br />Your letter came this morning. I think it was time I was hearing from you. I had entirely given up hope of ever getting a line from you. Your picture is fine. I saw R.K. this morning and showed it to him. He said you were awfully pretty. He said he has forgotten your address and that was why he hadn't written to you. I gave it to him but he didn't write it down and I know he'll forget it. He said all of his pictures were had but that he'd send you one.<br /><br />I am having a cracker-jack of a time. You ought to be here. You know Salem is just full of the best looking boys you ever laid your eyes on while college is going on. I'm going to the Demosthenian Oratorical Contest to-night with one of the students. He brought me home from church Sunday-night. I'm wild about a Mr. Gochenour now. He goes to Roanoke College. His home is in West Virginia. He wanted to come down here last Sunday night and bring his friend, Mr. Perry, with him but I had a previous engagement so couldn't have them. I'm just simply wild about Mr. Perry. I've never met him, though. We are distantly related. I went up to Calloway last Wednesday night to play cards. I had a fine time. If you are coming to Salem this summer you had better come at once before the college closes. It closes about the 14th or 15th of June. We could have such a fine time while the commencement exercises are going on. You know they last a whole week. Our exams begin to-morrow. I'm exempt on everything so I will have a whole week off. I am so glad because I just simply hate to take the old examinations. Aren't you glad your school is out?<br /><br />I got a card from Frank Hester yesterday. He said he was going to send me some roses today. I hope they get here in time for me to wear some to-night. I had a brand new white china silk dress to wear to-night and now it is simply pouring down rain. Isn't it a shame? I think its horrible. I certainly do hope it will clear up. I must stop now. Write me a long, long letter and tell me all about your love affairs. Tell Francis to write to me. Lots of love.<br /><br />Affectionately yours,<br /><br />Leola<br /><br />post script - "I know you'll excuse writing, scratches and all. If ever I have a picture taken I'll send you one. You can't get the little tin types here. They don't make any small pictures here. Lots of love. Leola"<br /><br />Isn't this letter great? Can you even believe that this was written in 1913? Girlfriends are so wonderful -Leola sounds like such fun!<br /><br />Posted at 09:49 AM | Permalink | Comments (14) | TrackBack (0) <br /> <br /><br />Best,<br />Dawn<br />dawn.connell@ymail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895104784950964974.post-86939361593797805752011-10-24T22:17:59.524-04:002011-10-24T22:17:59.524-04:00well, good to know...thought I'd broken the in...well, good to know...thought I'd broken the internet! here's to successful commentingDoug Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328946310707404767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895104784950964974.post-2876054300161999112011-10-24T21:24:50.341-04:002011-10-24T21:24:50.341-04:00I'm so glad I fixed that issue with my blog. ...I'm so glad I fixed that issue with my blog.

One thing that helped with the signing in issue was to make sure the "stay signed in" box was unchecked (I did that a while ago though), but even with that, sporadic comments have still disappeared into the ether, which *is* very frustrating...it's difficult to write a brilliant comment twice. ;)<br />I've unchecked my word verification in the hopes of that helping, but will see about the pop-up form as well...we shouldn't have to get so tricky to leave comments.<br />xoxo J~24 Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630767883910250689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895104784950964974.post-76422084181323164232011-10-24T14:58:24.245-04:002011-10-24T14:58:24.245-04:00Donna,
