   I could love paper, but wondering what you do with all of it? I guess my weakness is linens.

   It’s so immediate, isn’t it? And amazing how long it has survived, whereas my digital documents from five years ago are inaccessible without undergoing a conversion to the new software.

   I share your love of, and passion for, old French (and also, in my case, Russian) papers (including but not limited to maps) on which someone has written, drawn or otherwise expressed or depicted something. Especially since I have not been in a position to search for those old papers very often, I love reading about, and studying the photographs of, French ones in your blog.
   Thank you for writing about and sharing your photographs of them, Corey! 💜

   Glad the picture of you with The Paper Guy enlarges. That book you found is incredible. All these letters give you a window to another time. The menus do the same.
   The last few pictures of letters…the script is beautiful, but challenging to read.

   That seems an inappropriate comment for this type of blog. I think it is worthy of deleting.
