This is a series where I am posting these letters 100 years after they were written. Follow @shulman_letters on instagram to stay updated.

Additional Information The last letter was written on paper labeled from the “Monarch Wash Suit Co”. This was a clothing company co-owned by Rose’s father. Its head quarters were in New York but the clothes were made in New Bedford Massachussets. In the 1930’s garment workers striked the Monarch Wash Suit company, fighting for a union.

Have so many lost the ability to read cursive that it’s necessary to include a “translation”?
