The owner of the letter, Sophia Hillan, replied to Law's tweet saying: "Yes, it was to me!" 。
"I am the Sophia Hillan who was at Irish Studies and would love to have it back," she wrote. "I am pleased and touched that the finder thought to contact me. Seamus was a kind and loyal friend until his untimely death." 。
Three cheers for the internet!。
