is the story of Frank & Joe, two newlyweds who left their home in Ohio, moved to DC for work, & started a family.

Told in a series of letters from 1883 to 1885.

"My dear Frank: -

My mother kept some of the letters I wrote her during the first years you and I have lived together. I have put parts of these letters in this little book and I hope they will interest you as much as they have me... There are little parts here and there I know will interest you and I hope you will read it all though a good deal of it is of little account.

With my best love I am,
yours Joanna"
