Our mixed emotions stemmed from the uncertainty of whether the content would live up to our expectations, the excitement of being the first to lay eyes upon those hidden words and an uneasy feeling of opening something that did not belong to us.

We opened ten letters, three of which were sealed.

We will be uploading their content shortly.
