I'm Portuguese and I tried to translate the letter in the Chest for you. The letter is very difficult to understand because it's old Writing, but here's what I've figured out: "M.B I give this sheets with open sheath and monogram |M| with lace(?) pillows. They served in the night of my parents marriage and 1 of them covered my António Maria the little time he was in his bed after the disaster. " Hope I kill the curiosity!

As always. I greatly appreciate the love and respect you young men show toward the places you visit, the history, and the former occupants. I'm glad, Leslie, that you have started wearing gloves while investigating. It really is much safer for you, and for the things you touch. You mentioned the number of beds and bedrooms in this beautiful home. The fact that the family who lived there was a large one, I suspect some of the rooms were occupied by servants, i.e. maids, cook, nanny/nurse. Thank you both for the marvelous work you do. You take me places I could otherwise never see. Blessings to you!

That was a very kind way to behave, thanks for being a light in the political darkness. The way the countries became countries can be hard for all of us to face, history is so brutal and violent. Thank you for realizing that it happened so long in the past all those people are long dead. What is important is trying to get along and be good to each other now. How can there be a future if all we ever see is the past. History is facinating, and important to remember, but we can't hold history over the heads of those living in the present.

So good to see you wearing gloves, Leslie. They will not only protect your hands, they'll protect old book pages and fragile cloth from the oils on your hands which will, otherwise, hasten decay. Love what you do and the respect you show for history.

These homes like these you can get more of a feeling for them if you go on Hulu and watch "Pride and Prejudice" "Emma" "Bleak House" and "War and Peace" ect. You see the fancy homes that fancy drawn carriages pulling up out front, the drawing rooms, sitting rooms, smoking room for the men, dance hall. You see the distinction between the poor or middle class people and the aristocrats. Also how some home were loss to the Germans and they would come in and take over ones home in war time. I really enjoyed seeing this house. Thank you.

You guys are definitely the best I’ve seen at this. People that leave photos behind make me crazy. If I find photos in any abandon place, I do the research on the house in the family & mail the valuables to them with no return address. Thank you guys as always for sharing your finds.

In the states: the table top piece with small antique mirror on a stand with little drawer is reffered to as a 'mustache' mirror. The 'coat rack' that usually stands in a entry way is reffered to as a hall tree. The holes on either side of the mirror usually had a bowl of some sorts at the bottom. That's the umbrella holder and the bowl collects the water from the wet umbrella.

Awesome video! So relaxing!

What an amazing place...filled with stories and the comfortable things of daily life. Beautifully done, as usual for you. The type of piano is called an upright piano, grand pianos take up a lot of floor space, so uprights became popular for homes. Having a big enough home to have its own chapel was a serious status symbol, it meant the wealthy could have services without going to the cathedral with everything else. Great woodcarving on the chapel. Some of those attic bedrooms were very likely live in staff.🖤🇨🇦

Thank you for all your great explores 🥰💖😍 Be safe
