Message In A Bottle Dated 1983 Turns Up On Cape Cod

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. - A message in a bottle that is more than 36 years old was discovered in Massachusetts. Joshua Mendes says he found a weathered glass bottle with the bleached letter while beachcombing in Provincetown.

He says the letter was signed by an 11-year-old girl named Jenny Brown and dated May 14, 1983. The letter gives the address of a post office box in Jonesport, Maine, and says "Please write me."

Mendes says his attempts to contact Brown have not been successful.
