Unclaimed letters can be intriguing. You can't help but scour the lists in the hope that you will see a familiar name.
Before we explore them further, let me answer the same questions I am always asked when I post these lists..
" NO, they aren't available for researchers, or anyone else to read."
"Yes, they most likely have been destroyed."
"Sorry, I have no way of knowing if any of these people mentioned have been found."
Of course, that won't stop us wondering.. what if?
Note the red star.. I had hoped that seeing that entry would make it a 'red letter day' for me..no such luck, still haven't found where John Goopy Snr ended up. The blue star was just a reminder for me..
