Content

Jesse R. Eskridge to his mother, 13 Jan. 1902. Wants to make his bride-to-be a wedding gift of cash and keep her well enough supplied that she does not have to ask for money. "I know something about what it is for a good wife to ask for money--I have seen these things at home." Katie Eskridge's letters, written in 1912, give some insight into the difficulties involved in educated women finding employment.
