The Letter Library

Every month, Betsy writes a new letter inspired by the ordinary moments of a real life.

Here you'll find a catalogue of every letter sent from Railway View Cottage. Each title offers a small glimpse into that month's story, while the full handwritten letter remains exclusive to Betsy's pen pals.

Each letter can be purchased at a cost of £5 per letter including UK P&P if you want to get to know what Betsy was doing before you became a reader of her letters

A cozy scene with a view of a train passing by outside a window. Inside, a desk holds a teacup filled with tea, a stack of handwritten letters tied with twine, an open journal with cursive writing, a black and gold fountain pen, a jar of wildflowers with a tag that reads "little moments, beautiful life," and a set of three vintage books titled "Garden Notes," "Wild Flowers," and "British Birds." Lace curtains frame the window, and the overall ambiance is warm and peaceful.
