The letters in Penelope's Postscripts provide a charming and engaging read for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of the early 20th century.Salemina and I were in Geneva. If you had ever travelled through Europe with a charming spinster who never sat down at a Continental table d'hote without being asked by an American vis-a-vis whether she were one of the P.'s of Salem, Massachusetts, you would understand why I call my friend Salemina. She doesn't mind it. She knows that I am simply jealous.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
