A woman discovered two boxes while she was cleaning her attic. When she opened it she found hundreds of love letters addressed to someone named Betty Sue.
Imagine living in a house for several years and you discover something unusual one day? Anna Elizabeth Prillaman, who lives in Virginia, US, discovered two boxes while she was cleaning an attic.
When Anna opened it, she found what seemed like hundreds of letters addressed to the same woman, Betty Sue. She shared a picture of her find on Facebook and wrote that the letters were from 1955.
Anna wanted to track down Betty Sue and Vance, who had written these letters so she turned to the internet. She shared a post on Facebook where she shared her eagerness to track down the lovers.
"Neat find today as I cleaned a random attic of my closet I’d never sifted thru. Two boxes of letters from a navy guy to a woman who must have lived here when it was first built as the address changed to mine halfway through one of the boxes. Who knows if they ended up together but it’s darn near 200 letters, so I’d hope so for ole dude’s sake. Even if the two writing one another is no longer with us, I’d love to find the family to pass them on to. I know I’d cherish these if these were my grandparent's correspondence. DM me if you know a Betty Sue McGhee (maiden name I’m sure) or a navy guy with last name Broyles. letters are written in and around 1955,” Anna wrote in her post.
Well, the internet has become the solution to a lot of our problems these days because soon Anna got a response. A young man named Dalton Long confirmed that he knew the pair - as they were his grandparents.
Speaking to WTVR-TV, Anna said, “There are no SMHs, OMGs or LOLs. It’s full sentences. Grammatically correct sentences. Isn’t that funny how that works?"
