My great-great-aunt (possibly great-great-great?) Annie (Anna) received a letter in 1930 that my grandmother just showed me today. Aunt Annie never married, but apparently that didn't stop strangers from proposing to her. This man was looking for a "good wife" and Aunt Annie apparently came "highly recommended." As far as his qualities, he's home four nights a week, and can provide a 10-room house with gas and electric. Given that Aunt Annie never married, it makes me wonder if she laughed while reading this proposition as much as I did?
