Open Call to ALL Reenactors, Historians and Creative Writers!
The Royal Navy reenacting group that represents HMS Acasta will be attending the Jane Austen Festival in July of this year. One of the things that I'd like to be able to do is deliver a 'mail packet' full of letters to the various Acasta members. This is a project that I have undertaken in the past with other groups with awesome results.
This is where YOU come in!
Anyone who would like to submit a period correct letter to add to the packet is encouraged to do so! We'd love to have your contribution, however large or small! Anything added to the packet will help to enhance the historical experience for not only the Acastas who receive them, but for the public who will attend the Festival as well.
Need some ideas for what to write? Try one of these:
Letter from a friend or colleague back home.
A bill or request for payment.
An overdue payment of debt.
A letter carrying news of the war(s)
Or, use the link below to see some other types of period letters:
Wondering what a period letter looks like? Here are some beautiful examples:
Contact me to find out where to send your finished letter… or for any other additional information.
Finshed letters will need to be to ME by the end of June so that they can find their way into the Mail Packet!

So pick up your pen and paper and get writing, and HAVE FUN!
