I did a ton of scanning and transcribing today. The one from Luella is quite long, and once again, she manages to work some prime patriarchy blaming into it. The later letters from Esther’s mother are full of concern, because Esther is apparently suffering from appendicitis. And, a new potential suitor! Mr. Reffe writes to Esther, to ask if he may correspond with her, and in doing so, mentions Esther’s old beau Richard. It’ll be interesting to see if that goes anywhere.
