The Letterjoy Experience
Give the gift of weekly historic letters from presidents, captains of industry, and other famous figures.
Legendary Pen Pals
Each week, you’ll receive one reproduction of a notable historic letter in your mailbox (Yes, on paper).
Over the course of your membership, you’ll read dispatches from a variety of famous or eloquent authors.
Recent “pen pals” include John Adams, Sitting Bull, Sojourner Truth, Allan Pinkerton, and Andrew Carnegie.
A Classic Experience
Letterjoy is an “old-school” screen-free experience.
Each of your letters is mailed to you in a cream-colored envelope with a real first-class stamp.
All of your letters will be printed on fine stationery, vellum, or parchment. Most will include restored letterhead, signatures, or other design touches to help transport you back in time.
Helpful Context To Dig Deeper
Every Letterjoy letter also includes “the postscript”.
“The postscript” is an article written by our expert curators with detailed background information your latest letter and the events and figures discussed within.
Each postscript is filled to the brim with historical details perfect for inspiring your next Wikipedia rabbit-hole or helping you win your next trivia night.
Timely & Timeless Topics
Each month, your letters will explore four different historical events.
You may find yourself reading a letter from an infamous Wild West Gunslingers one week and a Manhattan Project scientist the next.
