The letter from Warren is adorable. He must have been about 7 years old when he wrote it. I laughed when I read Ruth’s letter, too. She scolded Esther for being cranky. The family back home had been quarantined for scarlet fever, which included a ban on writing to Esther and Clark (it was feared that the disease could be spread via contact with the letters). I expect the lack of word from home was at least partially responsible for Esther’s mood.
