Sealed letter Kurt Vonnegut Sr. sent his son Kurt Vonnegut Jr. during WW2. Held in the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library.
During WW2, Kurt Vonnegut's father wrote him a letter from Indiana. It was returned to the family with 'missing in action' written across it. When Vonnegut came back from war, his father handed him the letter. Vonnegut could not open it. He did not open it for his entire life. Neither did his children. To this day, the letter remains sealed and on display.
