An Old Lady

Perhaps they had found the final piece of this puzzle. Cramlit narrated everything to them. She told them that her late husband was a collector of historical, items, antiques, and junk. He used to attend yard sales and according to Cramlit, he got his hand on these letters in one of those sales. This revelation made Smithsonian think about the possibilities of letters reaching Shepherd’s parent and brother. Perhaps they forgot it and so stayed forgotten for many years.
