I concur with my fellow reader David Jeffery. That is no photo of Emily Dickinson posting her letter in 1842.’

Love your letter selections always.

That is actually my daughter, Emily Dickinson, posting her card at precisely 6:42 pm (18:42) on the 17th of September, 2015, in the post box near Torrington Village Stores and Tearooms, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I can prove this by the date and location stamp on the digital photograph. I took the photo to show her grandparents that the card had been posted, though it was somewhat late for their wedding anniversary.

Wow, Emily Dickinson was certainly way ahead of her time in the fashion stakes!

Easy to see the adult selves when reading the child selves. Marvelous.
