...is bad:

West Village woman receives war-time letter sent 70 years ago and is now trying to track down the lieutenant or his family

"A New York woman claiming to have received a mysterious letter sent to her apartment nearly 70-years ago by a lieutenant during World War II is seeking the public’s help to track down its author.

Writer and actor Abbi Jacobson says that in February she discovered the startling handwritten letter in the mail box of her West Village apartment with a time stamp dating it to 1944 from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Lt. Joseph O. Matthews, a name Jacobson says she’s never heard, penned the letter to his wife, Mrs. Joseph O Matthews, that November."

Other than that, it's sort of a sweet story.
