Scope and Contents

The first letter is dated May 16, 1885 from Pleasant Grove. It is to Heber Bennion her future husband four months before their marriage. It begins: "Good morning, mon cher. What a lovely morning it is! All Nature seems to be rejoicing in the beauty and brightness of the spring time." The letter ends: "I was quite disappointed to learn that the visit I had been anticipatin from 'someone' in the near future, had to be postponed, but there's consolation in the thought that separation only strengthens the 'silken tie that binds two willing souls'." The second brief letter is written to M. T. Bennion, Heber's mother, dated March 12, 1889. It is a request to have someone meet Susie at the Francklyn depot the following Saturday evening when she arrives.
