Original vintage 1950s handwritten love letters. From Norma Kasparek in Dorchester, Nebraska to Harold Roelfs at Diller, Nebraska. Letters were written in the late 1950s. They did end up marrying and lived near Diller!

I've only read a few of the letters. In one, she tells of how she was offered a teaching job. In another he was serving as a Sergeant in a military branch, and stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado. A lot of conversation about everyday life.

You will receive a lot of 10 letters, which will be chosen at random from this collection. Envelope and letter size and color will vary. All are from Norma to Harold. Condition is good for all with some wear and soiling to envelopes.
