Description
THE 10-PAGE LETTER from Paris was written in a strong, forward-sloping cursive, with words that seem to bump into the edge of the page as though impatient to tell their story. It was April 16, 1919, and Mary Pretlow had just witnessed the cruel devastation of war. Traveling with soldier companions to Reims, a city in northern France that lay in ruins, she had stood on a moonlit night and gazed at the famous, partly wrecked 13th-century Reims Cathedral.
