Dear Gerald,
Thank you for reaching out to me, but I'm fine. I just have a little cold, that's all.
I didn't do much; just doing groceries, chores, and cooking. My family are still the loving people they are, and did some normal stuff.
How about you? How's your family? I was thinking about reaching out to you as well, because like you said, we're each other's best friends.
If something happens, you know who to call.
-I.M.
What are these? It seems like Grandpa has something he didn't tell us.
There are thousands of letters in the box; they're all dated in the 50s. No place of origin.
There was also text handwritten on the box, in big, bold letters. The text read...
MANILA.
