Lilla Small Farris was born in the Pleasantville area of Warren, Maine on August 27, 1888, the daughter of Henry and Alice (Webster) Farris. This publication contains the letters and postcards that her mother and father wrote to her between the years 1903-1908. The letters give an insight into a simpler way of life in the early 20th century yet they also reveal many of the same problems families face today.
