What was the Letters?  There seems to be some shroud of mystery surrounding this small group of people.  Letters, what does that mean?  Letters, according to the Webster's dictionary, are written/printed symbols representing the sounds of speech; literary learning.  This title was created for this group by the late Emma Blanche, one of the founding members.  However, it was voted that after having the title of Letters for so long that a change is needed in order to move this committee forward, and to encourage writers form around Milford and the surrounding areas to join us.  So it was voted to change the name to the Writers Group.
