Summary "The Letter of Credit" by Susan Warner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the struggles of the Carpenter family, specifically focusing on Mrs. Carpenter and her daughter, Rotha, as they navigate the challenges of poverty and the complexities of life after their farm is lost. The story delves into themes of duty, faith, and the impact of unexpected fortune, both good and bad, as they encounter a wealthy stranger who offers assistance during their difficult times. The opening of the novel introduces us to Rotha and her mother in their farmhouse kitchen, where Rotha expresses a longing to become a writer and escape their mundane life. Their conversation reveals their struggles with poverty, as Mrs. Carpenter discusses the encumbrances on their farmland, which leads to a deeper discussion about their financial situation. Suddenly, a stranger, Mr. Southwode, enters their lives when he becomes gravely ill near their home. Mrs. Carpenter tends to him with kindness and dedication, which establishes the warmth and moral strength of their family. After recovering, Mr. Southwode expresses his gratitude by offering the Carpentry family a letter of credit that could help them in their time of need, setting the stage for potential future developments in their lives.
