Amazing how an interviewer can compress 35 minutes of interview into less than 3 minutes of video! Beth Cavert and I are so excited about the discovery and also about putting the postcards into the full context of the letters (Beth’s Complete Correspondence will do this).

– Even though she knew what they were, Epperly said turning over the postcards and seeing Montgomery’s handwriting was “this shock … it’s her handwriting. Because she has very distinctive, and sometimes very difficult, handwriting, and to see that and to see the ink changing where she dipped the pen to write, it’s like treasure to find this.”-
