A Caryville, Tennessee woman recently purchased an old dresser and discovered a lifetime of someone else’s memories hidden inside.

Mary Gorman bought the dresser off a man who was set up selling items on the side of the road. When she took it home, she discovered love letters hidden inside as she was cleaning it.

“I just flipped them over and started looking up inside of it and something caught my attention,” she said.

Gorman saw a little piece of paper shoved in the dresser. She pulled it out and discovered there were a handful of love letters packed inside a hidden part of the dresser.

“This one is dated June 3, 1964,” Gorman said.

“I’ve included my picture and will send you a better one sometime when school starts,” one of the letters reads.

The letters were sent from a 14-year-old girl in Lewisville, Indiana to an 18-year-old boy in Corryton, Tennessee (northeastern Knox County).

The handwriting on the letters was difficult to read, and Gorman said she had trouble making out the names and what is said, leaving her with something of a mystery on her hands.

Gorman told 105.7 News, “So I’m just really curious did they ever meet again? Did she ever come in from Indiana and find him? I remember when I was young I was 14 right into a boy here in Tennessee that was 18 so my curiosity is up whatever happened to them.”

Gorman is now looking for those answers.

One of the envelopes found was addressed to a Denver Clifton who lived in Corryton, Tennessee in the mid 1960’s. Clifton would be in his early 70’s present day.
