The U.S. Declaration of Independence was my first exposure to the long S. (Or should I say my firſt?)

I read through that, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights from souvenir reproductions in middle school. I was curious about this letter and kept digging until I found out what it was, and what it was for. Later that helped me understand the proper use of the eszett (ß) in German.
