A letter

It's year 1866, England.

It has already been 10 years since the Crimean War and 34 years since the reform law was issued.

Women are treated as chattels, cannot vote, and their earnings, as well as dowry, belong to their husbands.
Queen Victoria rules The United Kingdom (of course) and the buildings are built in Neo-Gothic style.

Somwhere in the countryside, near the cows, fields, and beautiful sunsets, is the village where this story takes place.
