Jay Preseau has been buying and selling antiques for the past several years.
He recently came across an interesting lot at an online auction – about 600 love letters dating back to the 1920s.

“It's actually a collection of two different couples’ letters, so I'm not sure if they maybe knew each other or how they wound up together. Maybe the seller just grouped them together,” he told CTV News Winnipeg from his home in Sudbury, Ont.
One couple was Harold Booth and his beloved Olivia – or maybe her name was Ellie?
