Curtis Smith was working on his 1917 home in Casper, Wyoming, when he found something amazing. He discovered an old letter hidden in the walls, and it led to a family reunion almost 100 years later.Smith was fixing up his old house, dealing with a common problem in older homes. He wanted to change the Jack and Jill bathroom that connected two bedrooms. To do this, he removed his bedroom closet and turned that space into a hallway. It was a big job that required tearing down walls.
While pulling down the plaster and lathe, Smith spotted a blue envelope buried inside the wall. According to Newsweek, he had actually told his family just days before that he hoped to find an old letter someday. When he saw it, he felt excited and surprised. He said finding the letter was literally a dream come true. “Somehow I just knew when we moved in I would find something like that, and there it was,” he said. “It was literally a dream of mine come true.”
