37

Not in Front of the Servants

Interesting; written from an English point-of-view; which makes sense since America had slaves for so long.

The writing is a little difficult to follow at times, he switches subjects suddenly, but it's readable.

34 and 35

Problem Identified

West From Home

Short little book of letters Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote to Almanzo while she was at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915.  She worries about his health, how their dog is, and their chickens.  :)  She tells him Rose is helping her with her writing, but even in these letters there is still the flavor you get in the Little House books, written years later, which has to be authentically her own.
