A WWI letter was found in a box of old papers after almost 102 years

Amanda Kehler, the co-owner of Prairie Pickers Cafe and antique shop in Steinbach, Manitoba, bought the papers while looking for new inventory for the store.

“It was a pretty average Saturday. We were out and about rooting around for some treasures to stock the shop with and we came across sort of a pile of old newspapers and certificates and old telegraph messages,” Kehler said. “I am always drawn to that sort of stuff, so rather than go through it there, I just bought the entire stack.”
