Construct an epistolary short story where letters from the past mysteriously appear in the present.

This prompt is a play on time travel and cross-era communication, urging writers to think about how people in different time periods might convey their ideas, messages, or warnings. How would a modern character react to a letter from the past? What sort of impact might the contents of these ghost letters have on their current world, and what actions might they be prompted to take?
