Cream Unlined Paper

Composed on a single folded sheet of cream-colored, unlined paper, the letter is written in a clear, fluid cursive typical of formal education during the Victorian or Edwardian period. The author, who signs the second page as Gertrude Walker, conveys a piece of what was considered duty-bound gossip, writing that she has heard from Mr. and Mrs. Myers that Mr. Frank Andrews is a married man, though separated from his wife for several years.
