First Letter Dear Mum, A couple of weeks ago I started to tell you about my job at Suprenant et Fils, and got side-tracked into talking about the local architecture and kinds of timber. It's easy to get side-tracked when there's so much here that's different from an old, established city like Yorke. S&F is … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Suprenant et Fils (13 Juin 33AF)

First Letter Dear Mum, One hasn't much opportunity for merriment in Mont-Havre, not on a clerk's wages, not if you're trying to save every franc you can—as you must, if you wish to be able to take advantage of opportunities for advancement as they come by.

A lot of the names are like that here, which is funny, … Continue reading Letters from Armorica: The First Day (9 Mai 33 AF)

Dear Mum, The Lombard is supposed to make landfall tomorrow. I was going to wait and write you once I'm settled, but a man just came round and told us all to write our letters now if we want them to go back with the ship. He's right, I guess. It took us three months … Continue reading Letters from Armorica: Arrival (9 Mai 33 AF)
