The Shop Around the Corner Quote


I saw the movie last night for the second or third time I believe. This is the first time I connected with "You've got Mail." Only because I prefer the old ones to the new.

My question is though: does anyone have the quote from the FIRST letter that Jimmy Stewart reads when he tells the other clerk what he is doing? or does anyone know where I can find it?

Thank you.

It's written in the quotes, but here it is,

"My heart was trembling as I walked into the post office, and there you were, lying in Box 237. I took you out of your envelope and read you, read you right there."

Sweet, eh?
