Historic Letter Exchange on the Elizabeth Stewart Clark Forum
The first-person letter exchange is a chance to put our research into the context of daily lives.  Letter exchange dates will be announced in advance; on letter day, post your topical letter as a response in the thread for all to enjoy.  Your letter may be from your usual “persona”, or from a temporary person designed for the purposes of the exchange.
