My attic had a 1918 postcard taped inside a vent, still readable.

Whoa that's wild! My buddy found a 1901 love letter behind a baseboard once. It was all crinkled and the ink was faded. He spent weeks trying to find the family of the people who wrote it. Turned out they were his neighbor's great-grandparents, no joke. The whole thing was like a free history mystery.

That's the kind of luck you almost never hear about, @pat_harris. Usually you just find old mouse nests and weird nails. The fact it led right next door is honestly kind of perfect. Makes you wonder what else is hiding in the walls of old houses.
