The 36 Julia Adelaide Cook letters form a 32-page narrative account of Cook's life in Wiscasset, Maine, and travels to other towns from December 1816-October 27, 1818. She frequently discussed her opinions of marriage and courtship. The letters, addressed to a friend, often concern her opinions on topics such as courtship and married life. On May 27, 1818, she commented on recent difficulties in her cousin John's marriage as a result of his intemperance. Cook voiced her desire to earn an independent living, particularly while her parents were contemplating a move to Missouri or another faraway location. She also provided news of her family and acquaintances throughout Maine, which she obtained during several trips to Saco and Biddeford.
