I am intrigued! Letters during the Regency Era were meant to be shared by more than the receiver so will Elizabeth find out about them or even Wickham!

As an emotional teenager, I even wrote an entire journal to my secret love (one guess as to who that was, KaraLynne).

I love your expressions about letters as well as your remembrances. As I mentioned above, I completely agree. Ginna, you added the extra dimension stating they can be reread and savored. I like that, just like a good book. I have some letters, like Sophia Rose and Christina, stashed away. It is so neat to get them out and relive them ever so often. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to tell us what you think. I enjoy reading your 'share'! :)Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-64956286790037027502015-09-14T21:40:44.619-05:002015-09-14T21:40:44.619-05:00One reason that letters can convey more than spoke...One reason that letters can convey more than spoken words is that a letter can be reread, and it can be savored. <br />GinnaSaisQuoi at verizon dot netGinnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-67592061496938765052015-09-14T18:18:39.729-05:002015-09-14T18:18:39.729-05:00I heartily agree about the letters.

Mind they would arrive in batches of 5-7 at a time because they would fly off the boat in bulk. But they were so treasured. Recently I came across them. Made me smile.
