I guess if I could own a letter written by ANYONE I'd have to say Queen Elizabeth the First. She's always intrigued me, and so that would really be wonderful. And while I don't "own' them, our town has many letters written by Abraham Lincoln (he grew up about 5 miles from my house) and I feel pretty proud everytime I read one of them.<br />Amy<br />moon_princess111@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-26291500897496601342011-08-10T03:18:44.120-04:002011-08-10T03:18:44.120-04:00I was thinking of William Shakespeare but I think ...I was thinking of William Shakespeare but I think Jane Austen would be more interesting.

But upon reflection I've decided I would love a letter from one of my ancestors. Someone who could give me more insight on where my family came from and what kind of people they were. They may not be famous in the general sense, but my Great great Grandfather was known as "Hellfire Jack" the Engine Driver of a steam locomotive. I would love to know so much more!
