Thanks for the link to the stamps! I love seeing all the iterations. During Christmas, I cut out the stamps from letters I receive and use them to border a scrapbook page.
You're welcome! I bought an old international stamp album in a yard sale, and sometimes put old postage stamps on mail art (not as official postage, but as part of the art).

Well Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman “Always” is an epistolary record of a vital friendship.
Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous....letters to his mother (who is illiterate). Does it count?
Leny: while the book is not based on actual, posted letters, Vuong's writings are always worth reading. Thanks 👍
"Kilkelly, Ireland", 1983, based on letters sent to a son who emigrated to America during the potato family. Saddest song ever.

Great ideas for the reading list! Thanks, Melissa, Leny, and Earl!
