Civil War RAFT

Hey,
Today I am going to be writing from the perspective of Union Woman in the Civil War.  She is writing a letter to her husband.


Dear Husband,
        Today I had to fill in for Margret at the factory, since she was sick. It was really quite interesting, I think I might get a job there.  Don't worry about the farm,  Mary is taking great care of it. She is growing up to be such a wonderful women, and I am so proud she is my daughter. Meanwhile the boys are just yearning to come fight, thankfully they are to young. It seems that everywhere woman are talking the jobs of men, while they are out fighting. In olden days this would have been quite improper, but it just shows how this new world is advancing! It's quite exciting!! I even heard that Anna actually took over the entire publishing house of the local newspaper! Ah, well back to work it is.

Love, Gloria
