Explore American history through letters mailed to your door.

Each month of Letterjoy includes four letters or memorandums from a famous or eloquent historical figure, plus first-class postage for each letter.

Each of your reproduction letters is mailed to you on fine stationery and also includes a "postscript" article (arriving with your letter), telling the story of your latest piece of mail.

Please Note: All one-month and month-to-month customers will begin to receive their letters at the start of the calendar month following their purchase. **

If you'd like to schedule your letters for a later date, you can do so by purchasing one of our longer-duration plans.

** For example, if you ordered this package on June 19th, we'd mail your first letter in the first week of July.

This package includes:

• 4+ Historic letters from a variety of pen pals from throughout American history
• One "postscript" article per letter.
• USPS First-Class Postage for each letter.

* Timeline may vary based on where you live and when your membership begins, but you'll always receive at least 4 letters in the mail.

About The Letterjoy Experience

Legendary Pen Pals

Each week, you’ll receive a reproduction of a real letter from American history in your (physical) mailbox.

Over the course of your membership, you’ll read dispatches from a variety of famous or eloquent historical pen pals. Recent letter writers include Benjamin Franklin, Sitting Bull, Sojourner Truth, and Douglas MacArthur.

Timely & Timeless Topics

Each month, your letters will explore a different theme from four angles. Themes vary from month to month, so you may find yourself reading letters from infamous Wild West Gunslingers in one month and Civil War spies or captains of industry in the next.

A Classic Experience

No screens are required to enjoy Letterjoy. Opening your letters is as “old-school” an experience as can be. Each is mailed in an ivory envelope with a real first-class stamp, and all of your letters will arrive on fine stationery, vellum, or parchment with letterhead and other design touches engineered to transport you back in time.

The Context To Dig Deeper

Alongside each of your letters, you’ll receive “the postscript”, an article written by our expert researchers with detailed background information on your letter.

Each postscript is brimming with historical details perfect for inspiring an afternoon of reading or helping you win your next pub trivia game.
