Dear Joe,

Life is prospering out here. I enjoy this time we call the Common Era. New inventions are sweeping our time and it’s great. How are you??? I surely hope your town is booming over West as well as mines is. I’ve missed you, haven’t heard from you but hope to see you this summer. My hair has grown long and is currently jet black. On the bright side I still have yet to have any younglings running around, simply waiting and working to settle down eventually.

Society is admirable. People are happier on account of there are more jobs available making it easier to get some money to have a good time. No longer do us folks who make a hard days work, use horses we drive fancy automobiles. Movies, media, and music make my day worth while after a long day of work at the factory. You haven’t experienced joy until you’ve came up here to hear some of the blues and jazz artists. Scott Joplin and Louis Armstrong are amazing jazz artists; you should come enjoy their music with me sometime. I even took soon interest into rock n roll. Elvis Presley is smoking hot.

Mass production is used to create cars much faster and cheaper which is making the economy boom. Not only are boats used to transport goods and cargo but now we have cruise ships that go up and down major rivers such as the Mississippi River. You can even hear jazz music while taking that trip, but you have to have a bunch of saved money to afford that. I was almost tempted to go on the Titanic with one of my guy friends but I couldn’t miss work at the factory…oooooo lets be thankful I didn’t go. I even went to Brooklyn with my best friend after saving and hard working. The trip was plenty of fun and it was worth it. I traveled across the Brooklyn Bridge it truthfully is beautiful. It’s a work of art; if you get a chance go visit it you won’t regret it. These new improvements are working toward my advantage. Riding horses wasn’t my cup of tea of course, but now I was able to afford a nice ford car.

I have to say I’m really enjoying myself and the freedom I can have as a hard working woman. Birth control has become popularized and I feel better knowing that I can protect myself. Personal computers are fun. My father just bought me one, its work to operate but fun. I enjoy the luxuries in life. I mean I know not everyone’s father is rich like mine but I still work for things of my own. I keep my radio when I exercise; it makes it much brisker and easier. I also have a television in my front room thanks to my father… I have shelves full of collections of 8-tracks and cassettes.

I really hope you still plan to take that trip out here this summer. Like you have to love this life style. I couldn’t be happier. My father would probably love to pay for your transportation down here so you have to come visit. Hope life’s treating you well… miss you, love you…see you this summer.
