I have those letters! My latest book, Half In, about my secret affair with my much older boss Sarah, well, Sarah was a huge E.D. fan and bought me "Open Me Carefully." Oh boy! Love that you quote her in your cards.

Oh, those letters…I have many from my parents but also a wonderful stack of letters from my grandfather, who encourage all of his grandchildren to write by giving them a beautiful leather journal with their name imprinted on it.

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift from your grandfather! Memories (as I was told when I was in my 20s) are so precious to have. Took me a few decades to get it. :)

My mom has never liked writing letters. I have some cards from her, but not letters. The letters from your parents are priceless.

Yes, the letters are priceless. Sorry you don't have letters from your mom, but great she sent cards. That's something. It's great you've got the letter bug, though. :)

Have you read her letters to Susan Gilbert? Quite intriguing. I quote her often in cards I make and it was in such a search for quotes that I discovered her letters to Susan.
