Friend to friend

the long version

Author Lois Wyse celebrates this ageless art of friendship with letters from famous women to their friends. From Harriet Beecher Stowe (who writes to her best friend on the day of her wedding, minutes before the ceremony), Edith Wharton (contemplating her fortieth birthday), Virginia Woolf (on meeting a new friend), Ayn Rand (who writes to mend a friendship), to Abigail Adams (writing to her dearest friend, her husband), Susan B. Anthony, and Amelia Earhart, and many. More. These letters remind us of the timelessness of the feelings that move each of us to reach out to our friends, and of the sheer joy that is our reward when we do.
