Rediscovered letters written during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) were recently opened and read for the first time in 260 years.

I wonder if anyone will come up with a movie imagining the lives of the authors of these letters.

Imagine if you were a family member of one of these people and finding out there were letters from them.

I listened to a report about this on the radio, and the readings were heartbreaking yet insightful.
