Thank you for sharing that wonderful letter. I could read a whole book written by that special lady about her family and her life experiences.

Memory is so short K. As Naut says only 150 years ago. It feels like 300. Sadly most folk do not know much beyond grandparents. Or even think of the emotions that were experience by their forebears. A real jewel of a memory.

Have you thought about writing a story or historical recounting of those events?

Thank you very much for this amazing and very personal glimpse at another time - almost another world! To think this lady wrote a mere 150 years ago...

we think that life is tough sometimes these days but our ancestors had it much tougher. Ten Children and just two rooms. and then wars and trying to collect enough food and wood for a cold Winter. A very interesting letter to read. Thank you.
