My Best Letter

What is the best piece of mail you have ever received? A love letter? A letter from home? An acceptance letter? Unlike email, letters are timeless pieces of paper that still speak. What's your story? Share your favorite letter and the memory it evokes.



"It's the physical aspect of the letter that sets it apart from a phone call or even an e-mail. Anticipation begins with the first glimpse of handwriting on the envelope."

-- Portland Magazine editor Brian Doyle.

They are heartbreaking, and yet hopeful.

Have you had letters sent to you from a war zone?
