When Gino Teliho began renovating her historic house in Buckhead, Atlanta, she found a cache of old love letters hidden in a ceiling. They had originally been sent to a lady living in Pennsylvania in 1915 and were so precious they'd been taken to Georgia decades ago, when the recipient moved.

Gino felt the letters should be returned to the family of the writer and launched a Facebook appeal, which went viral and was answered by an historian. With his help she eventually managed to track down the great grandson of Norman T. Arnold, who had written the letters to his wife Hannah.

He was so tickled when I told him that all of Buckhead was looking for him.”

Mrs Tehlio said she was sad to see the letters go, but happy to have reunited them with their family.
