A Letter To My Parents Who Were About To See The Waterloo Battlefield (1992)

Luckily, my parents, who were about to see the Waterloo battlefield in Belgium during a visit to Europe in 1992, kept this letter that I sent to them from Philadelphia. 

The letter, dated August 30, 1992, includes observations about the Waterloo campaign of June 1815, including a comparison with the Second Battle of Bull Run aka Manassas in 1862. 

Front of the letter, which is really a writing-card. 

Paper artifact from Brussels.
