Postcards and folded car...I think it a great text!<br /><br />Postcards and folded cards I must have received from very early age. But a real letter?<br />I'm in doubt whether my first letter came from a former classmate with whom I did exchange letters after she went to an other school or a girl with whom I had shared a hospital room (she because of an ear surgery, I because of a treatment for chronic sinusitis). At the age of 12, 13 or 14.

In my native language I think it reads <br />"Three days later I got a letter. It was the first time I had ever received a letter. On the envelope had been put my name and my address. It was like being discovered, like being born. Someone had encountered me. This letter had been carried across town and tucked into the correct mailbox. Before asking about the sender, I thought: Will this seal one day be valuable?
