Barn's letter to Julia

Did anyone else notice that he never addressed the envelope? He just grabs it, seals it and sticks it in the cubbyhole. And then in 1969 Nora reads it aloud: "Dr. Julia Hoffman". You don't think they were two different letters, do you? 

Guess he's got a real crack admin assistant.

And yes, I actually went back to see if he may have addressed it before he wrote the letter and he didn't. And yes, it pains me to admit that I'm this obsessed but there you go.

How fortitious of you to notice. . 'cuz it was a different letter, this is what Barnabas really wrote:

My dearest Julia, , , , i'm stuck in a cell, can't think what to do, so i'm
gonna write a letter to you and hope you get it in 70 years. . .hey, by the
way, how have you been? Get lucky while i was gone? No, me neither. .
.Barnabas

Uh-huh, I noticed it, too, that he didn't address the envelope, but seventy years later there it was.  I just blew it off, but like I said in another thread, the thing that bothered me was Julia entering a long-abandoned Collinwood to find the lights on, candles burning, and a cozy fire burning in the hearth.  I can't imagine what the electric bill must be like for Collinwood after all those months (not to say that the homeowner's insurance company would have a fit over all those open flames).

Someone may have commented on this elsewhere, but just how believable was it that the Amy (or anyone) should discover the letter ON JUST THE RIGHT DAY??

Incidentally, Dan Curtis used the interesting device of an exchange of letters across the centuries via an old desk in "The Love Letter," a Hallmark Hall of Fame production he directed a couple of years ago.

Yes!  I agree Vlad!  Of all the days,  Amy gets to finally play a normal child and just happens to "accidently" hit the magic button on the drawer while searching for something for her doll!    Funny how things happen on DS.

     Yes, Amy did what she normally does. She hides a very important letter behind her back and lies to one of the adults.
