Emma Spaulding Bryant Letters Posted: 5 months ago by MissWinkle
Emma Spaulding Bryant wrote these ten letters to her husband in the summer of 1873. Because these letters are unusually frank for this time period, they reveal much about the relationships between husbands and wives in this era, and shed light on medical practices that were often kept private.

Even though I only read three of the letters, I have to say, this is one of the best finds I have ever encountered on Plime. I don't really know why, it just speaks volumes about humanity and how, at least to me, we haven't changed all that much. Thank you!

I read all of them and I concur with tsp, amazing find.

And her husband sounds like he was projecting his own dalliances on her. She stood up to him beautifully and poignantly. I hope she had a happy life.

What a wonderful find! It's incredible to read anything from when people knew how to write letters.

Please destroy this letter because I do not think it wise to keep letters that speak of disease of a intimate nature.
I bet she wasn't suspecting her letters would turn up on the internet for the whole world to read someday...or did she?

Great find!!
