Right? Can you imagine handing over the wee one to the mail carrier and waiting to hear that he arrived safely? lol. Different world, for sure. I guess they had a lot of trust in the postal carriers.
Hi! Where did you get your information about Edna Neff's family circumstances? I've been scouring the internet for a reliable primary source about her and coming up empty. Thank you!
I love this story. I've never heard of the period in history when children could be mailed. I suspect many of today's parents are at times tempted to mail away their children! :)
OMG, I'd be terrified to send my grandson by parcel post...but of course it's a different era. A lovely reminder of the good in people
