At the risk of sharing old news, while taking a break from drafting The Chronicles of Ebenezer Rabbit this week, I stumbled across an article describing the contents of a 113-year shoebox-sized time capsule unearthed outside the Boston State House back in October. The capsule included a nail from the Old South Church roof, a bit of wood from a lion statue, and of course, photographs in pristine condition of several city and state elected officials from the time. It also contained several letters, which the Bostonian Society had not yet steamed open to read.
