POMONA’S TRAVELS

This series of letters, written by Pomona of “Rudder Grange” to her former mistress, Euphemia, may require a few words of introduction.  Those who have not read the adventures and experiences of Pomona in “Rudder Grange” should be told that she first appeared in that story as a very young and illiterate girl, fond of sensational romances, and with some out-of-the-way ideas in regard to domestic economy and the conventions of society.  This romantic orphan took service in the “Rudder Grange” family, and as the story progressed she grew up into a very estimable young woman, and finally married Jonas, the son of a well-to-do farmer.  Even after she came into possession of a husband and a daughter Pomona did not lose her affection for her former employers.
