I’m really enjoying this new blog. She’s posting a letter or two a week. Almost like getting one in the mail weekly. 😃

I find myself quite curious how this relationship develops. Right now they are just friends. Its going to be fun watching them fall in love in the next few months. I feel a bit awkward reading someone elses letters. The couple died around 1960 after a long marriage. Enough time has passed that its not an invasion of privacy.

I guess a 100 years from now some nosy people will read email archives of love letters. 😛

> All the letters were sent in their original envelopes with postmarked stamps, so Knudson arranged them chronologically and posted the letters one at a time on a new blog she started last month. “109 Love Letters” went viral after Knudson’s brother posted about it on Reddit, she said.
> 
> Knudson said she’s reading the letters for the first time as she transcribes them for the blog, so she’s excited to see how Daisy and John go from friends to being married.

> “The first love letters we read were in the middle of their story,” Knudson said. "Right now, in the beginning letters on the blog, Daisy addresses John as ‘Mr. Henderson,’ but later on she calls him ‘My dearest John,’ and signs off with ‘Love, Daisy,’ as opposed to ‘Sincerely, Daisy.’
