Helpful Score: 2

I love reading letters, especially ones that are filled with such detailed accounts of life as a homesteader mail-order bride! This was filled with interesting stories about the neighbors that Elinore Stewart came across or spent time with. She also gives her own personal stories, but not often because her friend in which she wrote them to might have felt she was bragging. Some of the stories were very sad, while others were so sweet and fun. She definitely was not tied down even though she married in that time. She was given much more freedoms than I think most women were in that day, and knew a lot of skills that women weren't normally allowed to know or do, yet her husband Clyde embraced them about her.
