Greetings folks,
One of my other hobbies is Vintage Dancing.
(http://vintagedancers.org/) I was just at an 1860's ball last night
and was talking about letterboxing and how it started. Many of
my vinatge dance friends are facinated with victorian activities.
I spend a week in the summer with my friends doing vintage
dancing in period clothing, having tea, having dance classes,
and dancing in historic settings. Some people are new to the
dance week campus and letterboxing might be a good way to get
people to take a campus stroll . They thought it might be fun to try
letterboxing - but not the way we do it now - the way they did it
when it was created. Does anyone know how it was done?

Maybe the article in the National GeograpicmApril 11, 1998 may help. that's
where someone here in the US read it and started the US version. that's all I
know.

the LITM Association has both English Country & Contra dances. We are
holding a Jambory Nov 19th where we will be having workshops in both dancing &
music. I have done some English Country dancing where we have a tea table during
our break. Last year they held a Jane Austin dance where we all came in
costum from the charatures in her novels. It was great fun.
They are showing Pride & Prejudice. in the local art cinama & we will have a
dance there after the movie. I think the movie is a new verison & will be
playing in other places as well.
I too do letterboxing but we don't have too many boxes here on Long Island,
New York.

I think STAR:W+S=DRR meant to say the Smithsonian Magazine article of
April 1998.

You are correct it's Smithsonian Magazine. It was a little early in the
morning and I was in a rush. Thanks for the correction.

I can only find edited versions of the original article online. I know I
read that article, because I have subscribed to Smithsonian for years, but I
didn't save the article - does someone have the entire text?
