In the Dering Letters which were given to the Shelter Island Library in 1916 by General Sylvester Dering, there are approximately 240 of them written by women. The men wrote about business, church business, and politics, and the women wrote about life's events and their feelings. This is a unique collection of women's letters never before known to scholars.
