Some framed replica's of artistically or historically curious letters will be available for purchase, with half of the proceeds going to a Canton charity or school.  The other half of any art sold goers to our wonderful hosts at Flea Circus who remind us to curate many meaningful objects of times past, including precious letters.

Come have fun, read a little, admire hand writing, and see the art of the letter.
