Not sure what to write to your #ArchivesPenPals? Find ideas in this WWII-era postcard from Fort Bragg with humorous stock phrases to choose from. But you’ll have to brush up on your historical slang - are you feeling “in the pink” or “punch-drunk” today? #ArchivesHashtagParty

#ArchivesPenPals can sign with a flourish. Our presidential signatures collection comes from NC governors' papers. This letter from George Washington to Samuel Johnston on 10-2-1789 discusses the Bill of Rights and joining the Union. What unique “John Hancocks” have you seen?

It occurred to us: we've browsed @DukeChronicle for articles about snow, hurricanes, & heatwaves, but never for that most fun of seasonal occurrences: POLLEN. Here's a good rant from the April 5, 1957 issue titled "Poison Pollen Plague." We feel you, Tommi.
"Poison Pollen Plague" by Tommi Thomas from the April 5, 1957 Duke Chronicle. Best line: "While other students are enjoying picnics, beer parties and other excursions in the great out-of-doors, I sit inside my room with a box of Kleenex and think Black Thoughts about life and allergies."
