I enjoy stories where in addition to being entertained, we learn something. Although what you've taught us about the miners families in NE PA back then was very, very sad. Pam and Jim's letters were great - and I love that Jim is in love with love. So very romantic.
Author's Response: Yeah, NEPA's past is kind of a depressing one and the entire mining past and attitude has really shaped how things are, even now. Even though it's sad, it's incredibly interesting.
And I'm glad you're liking it. :)

Ooh! I went out and found the original story. I'm glad you're changing it to add more drawers! I won't spoil things by saying anything else.
Thoroughly enjoying this!
Author's Response: Yeah, I thought the original was too few for this, and I lengthened their letters. Since you read the original, you'll notice what I've kept as that stuff comes along. Glad you're liking it. :)

The romantic in me is really loving this idea. It's similar to the movie, The Lake House, which I really liked. What can I say? I'm a sap. Poor lonely Jim.
Author's Response: I liked The Lake House but have to admit that explaining it to people who didn't get the time thing was difficult. In "The Love Letter" the explanation is so simple that it's like "Why couldn't they have just said something like this in TLH?"
You'll have plenty more opportunities to feel a bit sappy. I mean, if you've only got a few chances to talk to someone who is probably your soulmate, sappiness is likely to abound. ;)

OMGOMGOMG! A man who is in love... with love.
*le sigh*
Author's Response: I figure that's very Jim. If you could put puppy dog eyes in a letter, I'm sure he'd have done that by now.
