In letters to her dearest Mate at home, a young Kentucky widow writes from San Francisco, shipboard, Kobe and Hiroshima as she takes up work training kindergarten teachers for a mission school in Japan. Her gossip about missionaries, Japanese pupils, picnics and earthquakes is funny and observant, and an old romance quietly runs beneath it.
