Treasures I've found in books include a letter from 1893

Have you written an important letter but then forgotten where you left it? Or a photograph? Could you have left in a book perhaps? Emma Smreker from Oklahoma City likes to buy secondhand books partly in the hope of finding objects left between the pages as bookmarks, and reunite them with their owners. One of her finds is over 120 years old and she explains how she made contact with descendants of the letter writer and what happened next.
