<\/p>\nThe letter was mailed to Mr. and Mrs. Louis George at a street in Dekalb, Illinois, in 1943, during World War II. <\/p>\n
Only, the envelope did not say \u2018IL.\u2019 That might have been the cause of the letter’s prolonged disappearance. <\/p>\n
The letter arrived after all these years. The granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. George is interviewed in the film <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and discusses the contents of the letter, which contained condolences following the loss of a baby. <\/p>\n
The letter was discovered at the neighborhood post office, and what added intrigue to the tale was that it had been sent from a mere 50 miles away. <\/p>\n
The letter didn’t have to travel very far to get where it was meant to, but something had to go wrong to stop it in its tracks.<\/p>\n
The granddaughter also mentions how much knowing her grandparents had gotten this letter would have meant to them. <\/p>\n
When an inquisitive postal worker discovered the family on social media, the letter found its way to the granddaughter. <\/p>\n
The idea that a letter made it through after all this time is miraculous. How could it have survived, and where had it been for eight decades?<\/p>\n

\u2018Having worked at the post office, the letter possibly slipped under a shelf at the mail carriers case or route,\u2019 said a commenter who has experience working at a post office. <\/p>\n
When I was organizing my route shelving one day, I came across some office card items that were 30 years old\u2014they weren’t mail. <\/p>\n
The most plausible explanation for why it was never delivered in the 1940s is this. <\/p>\n
