 Nowadays, people don’t write
letters on paper often. Instead, they usually send
emails or text messages. However, receiving a handwritten letter feels
great - especially when it is a love letter. Recently, a very special
love letter arrived in the mailroom at the California
University of Pennsylvania in the U.S. The letter was written by a
girl named Vonnie. She wrote the love letter to a student named Clark
Moore. Similar to common love letters,
she wrote at the end of the letter: “I still miss you as much as ever
and love you a thousand times more. Please write me real soon.” To
our surprise, the tender letter was written
in 1958! No one knows why it was delivered 53 years late.
“The letter had been addressed to Mr. Clark Moore.
Back then, he was a junior at the university,
which was known at the time as California
State Teachers College,” said the university’s spokeswoman Christine Kindl.
“The letter, sent from Pittsburgh and postmarked February 20, 1958,
arrived in the mailroom two weeks ago. No one here has any idea why
it was delayed.”
Now, the university officials are searching for Mr. Moore. According to Ms. Kindl, he
is about 70 years old now and he is living in another state. The university
hopes to deliver the letter to Mr. Moore soon. He will be very surprised
to receive a love letter from
the past! |
