Summary: "A Bundle of Letters from Over the Sea" by Louise B. Robinson is a collection of travel letters written in the late 19th century. The book presents a series of correspondences that depict the author's firsthand experiences and impressions as she embarks on a journey through various European locales, including England and France. The letters convey a sense of adventure and curiosity, detailing the sights, sounds, and social interactions encountered along the way. The opening of the work introduces us to the author as she prepares for her voyage to Europe, having made a spontaneous decision to leave Boston. We witness her excitement as she boards the Cunard steamship Etruria, full of anticipation for the journey ahead. Describing the departure from New York Harbor, the author captures the emotions of farewell, the ship's amenities, and the vibrant atmosphere on board. As she steadily makes her way across the Atlantic, she shares her observations of fellow passengers and the beauty of the sea, establishing a delightful blend of travel narrative and personal reflection that sets the tone for the letters to follow.
