Re: X-Ray Eyes and "Letterlocking"
Fascinating isn't it? .. and to think none of these letters never arrived. There was a more detailed article in the NYtimes yesterday, about Mary Queen of Scott's last letter, which never arrived to her cousin the King of France. The letter is quite touching and to a certain extant bone chilling.....
