Tough slog

Just when I thought I could see the end of researching and writing (but not publishing), I tackled a pile of letters from Beatrice. The NYPL's collection has 140 of her letters, and she wrote an average of 7 pages per letter in compelling prose. Yes, around 1,000 pages. I can cover about 5% each day if I work hard all day and night. Plus it is difficult to read about the disintegration of her marriage, even though this happened over 100 years ago. But I feel I must do it. I just hope for a faster pace.

Ditches in the salt marshes are my latest focus of research. Very local, like in almost my backyard, yet common along the whole Northeast coast. Historical, from early 1600s settlers, yet early 1900s
