I expect that they do have a musty smell about them old things usually do but what you will be looking at will far outweigh the smell.

Hi Helen

Are they still in the envelopes - you might want to consider before burning them if any of the stamps are worth collecting. Who knows you may have a rare stamp stuck on one of them lol

Just spotted this thread.I have a whole bundle of letters that my parents sent to eachother.Tied with a pink ribbon.I havent read them,but just had a peek at a couple.
I couldnt bring myself to read them,and had a chat with my sister to see what to do.We have said we may have a little bonfire and a glass of something and say goodbye.
Their love letters will remain private.
Hope you enjoy them if you decide to take the plunge.
Helen

I am stuffing Malted Milk biscuits down in celebration !
