As for ones not dealt with, how much of your junk mail do you keep?
All the letters from credit card companies offering a card, or from places asking for donations... I collect stamps, so I save more than most and the amount I send to recycling is not all that trivial.
Very good points, Steve.

I suppose I am probably giving to much attention to the material based on what we know 100+ years later, but you are right, 99.999% of stuff like this probably wound up in the trash or fireplace.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
