Sometimes,tumblr beauty of eroticism just sometimes, Twitter isn't a terrible wasteland of Very Bad Things™.
Indeed, sometimes the internet rallies together to help people and reunite them with possessions they've lost.

To his delight, Twitter delivered — in fewer than 30 minutes, no less.
It started on Tuesday, when Law tweeted that he'd found a letter penned by Irish poet Seamus Heaney inside a second-hand book many years ago.
"I wonder if the owner would like it back?" he asked.

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."
