<p>Will’s letter to Rose O’Connor underneath the bathtub was found alongside two envelopes ⁠— one that went along with his 1920 letter, and another to a Jim O’Connor (possibly Rose’s husband) postmarked 1921.</p>
<p>The working theory has been that someone forwarded the letter and its envelope to Jim a year later, maybe behind Rose’s back as a way to inform Jim of her meeting with Will.</p>
<p>Part 2 looks into whether that was possible.</p>
