Written in 1945 Germany, letter arrives in 2021 Woburn, Mass.

From USPS:

"Enclosed please find a letter from your husband, John Gonsalves, to his mother dated December 6, 1945," Stowell wrote. "We are aware of the passing of your husband in 2015 (our condolences). As his next of kin, this letter now passes to you."

"We are uncertain where this letter has been for the past seven-plus decades, but it arrived at our facility approximately six weeks ago," Stowell continued. "By virtue of some dedicated sleuth work by postal workers at this facility, we were able to determine your address, hence this letter delivery to you, albeit 76 years late."

"Due to the age and significance to your family history delivering this letter was of utmost importance to us," added Stowell.
