Minneapolis homeowners Matt Tessmer and his wife Carrie were doing a renovation project inside of their residence in 2020 when they were renovating their home bathroom when they saw love letters inside of the wall. The couple found items that were inside of the home that has been around for more than a century that included love letters with the names of Hazel and Pauline asking the female to attend a dance with their boyfriends. The name of the male person when the name John B who also goes by the nickname Lolly. The couple are wondering who is the identity of the person named John B since the letters were not dated. Carrie believes that the letters were written by John when he was a teenager attending school. Carrie finds it interesting that items that were found inside of the house that is being renovated are no longer in existence today. Link is upi.com/5301707762517 via @upi

What a find. People don't spend time to write letters today. A lost art. Now you would have to recover someone's old laptop.

You are right that writing letters by hand is in the past.

@Deepizzaguy I love to look at old post cards that people have written to other people and someone saved them. I see them in antique stores near us.

You never know what you might find in old houses. I found some very old interesting newspapers under the lino at my parent's home too.

That is true since the Scooby Doo gang would be interested in solving this case.
