description: All too often the stuff of daily life is not what makes it into the history textbooks but it is that every lack of the extraordinary which makes these letters so appealing. Emma's garden, CN's business and Stanly's college days at Princeton seem so vivid because they have not been overshadowed by greater historical events. Thanks to thirty-three brittle letters, three people who lived one hundred years ago come to seem like people we know. In their affection for each other and their desire to share the events of their lives during a year apart they also teach us, today, about a world so like and yet so different from our own.
