It was November 9, 1944 when a young man wrote to his bride back here in Oregon. She saved some of these letters and somehow they got placed into a wall of the historic 1912 Schiller Station home.
These letters, when found, had some damage. One was destroyed, but most were saved. The seller, who did an amazing job bringing this home back to life, wanted the history of the home to go with the new owners and so he decided to keep everything he found, or couldn't use in the remodel, for the new owners.
One of these things that the seller wanted to pass on to the new owners was these letters. Here is the start of the first letter, dated November 9, 1944. For the rest of the letter, along with the follow up letters, the owner says you are going to have to buy the home.
