150-year-old Envelope With No Address Compels Postmaster To Embark Upon A Life-changing Journey

Preserved For Ages

The story of Shephard was not that happy as he did not get to meet his family before losing his last breath. Yet, his letters showed how much he loved his family. Shephard may have been forgotten with time, but his letters have that intensity to connect with the era of war and revive his pains. His letters are now preserved at  Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.
