My Dearest Beloved
FOUND by Sean C. Bilby
I was going through a set of old books donated to the library by the family of a recently deceased leading citizen. This note was in one well-worn textbook. I don't know if this note was directed at him, from him, or why he kept it all these years in a book he probably used throughout his professional life.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
this is hilarious. my husband and i both work at mcv. what year was this lovely note made?
This I would have to say is one of my favorite founds of all time.
Best thing ever....
This is one of my 2 favorite finds, ever. I love to think about what the story could be behind it....
Too Good!
date on the note and date found are the same...hmhm
I just may.
This letter is circa 1940. That is when he was a student at MCV. It was found in 2003.
I am totally using this next time my boyfriend screws up.
Someone trying out a typewriter – newly acquired for college?
Picks up nearest available scrap of paper, types the first thing that comes into his/her head (hence the nonsense year in the date). His/her ‘dearest beloved’ is looking over his/her shoulder, hence the teasing message. The leading citizen was either the typist or the Dearest beloved and was so tickled he kept it all those years. No doubt made him chuckle every time he came across it. The sort of thing my Dad would have done (and the sort of thing I did on his typewriter when I was little – sad I didn’t keep any of them).
This is a new favorite! I love it! Heehee!
If we don't change are ways; that's where we are ALL going my dearest.
I think he kept it all those years because he thought it was funny.
This is one of my favorite finds.
for sure.
Amazingly profound & powerful words.
Coincidence the date at the top is march 27 298333 (280,000 years into the future to the day it was posted).
It reminds me of that iggy&stooges song Hard to Beat/your pretty face is going to hell.
