Story

We are pleased to be able to announce that our campaign to buy Cassandra's Letter has reached its target following a very generous private donation. 

We will leave the JustGiving campaign open in case anyone else still wishes to give. Any donations received from today onwards will be used to aid display of this new acquisition or go towards future acquisitions for the Museum.

Thank you everyone for your donations and supportive messages.

This letter remains on display until the end of July and will be displayed again in future.
