The Letterjoy Experience
Give the gift of weekly historic letters from figures like Benjamin Franklin, Clara Barton, and George S. Patton.
Each week, you’ll receive a reproduction of a real letter from American history in your (physical) mailbox.
Over the course of your membership, you’ll read dispatches from a variety of famous or eloquent historical pen pals. Recent letter writers include Benjamin Franklin, Sitting Bull, Sojourner Truth, and Douglas MacArthur.
Choose from a growing list of topics. Get letters from World War II, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, and more.
No matter what collection you choose, your letters will explore a variety of eras, topics, and historical figures. You may find yourself reading letters from infamous Wild West Gunslingers one week and nuclear physicists the next.
The Context To Dig Deeper
Alongside each of your letters, you’ll receive “The Postscript”, an article written by our expert researchers with detailed background information on your letter.
Each postscript is brimming with historical details perfect for inspiring an afternoon of reading or helping you win your next pub trivia game.
