It's super rare to have both sides of a correspondence - these are the love letters of my great great grandparents, Janie Warburton and Fred Shepherd. I keep saying there are over 200 but I've never counted them. For the last 18 months I've been turning them into the My Love Letter Time Machine. They date from 1878 to 1882. Fred and Janie were just ordinary working class people from Sheffield, Yorkshire, they also had a bit of spark - the wit in these pages cracks me up all the time.

A selection of Victorian letters laid on top of each other displaying the salutations. The two clearest depict say "Handsworth Aug 13/79 My dearest Fred" and "Bridlington, August 14/70 My Darling Janie".
