Letters from the Manse
By:Joan Archibald Colborne
Published on 2003 by Charlottetown, P.E.I. : Island Studies Press
On December 30, 1948, Joan Archibald Colborne married the Rev. Blair Colborne in Ottawa. Joan was 26. Blair was 24. Originally from Nova Scotia, they were well-educated city-dwellers with high ideals and expectations. In early January 1949, Joan joined her new husband on his first charge: Springfield West, on the western end of Prince Edward Island. Seven miles by unpaved road from the closest community, O'Leary. Two miles from the nearest power line. Little did they know what was in store. Letters from the Manse begins January 12, 1949, as the new Mrs. Colborne sits down to write letters by lamplight on an old portable typewriter. |It made a great excuse not to have to hear the same sermon three times,| she says. |I made five copies on onion skin: one for Blair's parents, one for his brother, one for my sister, and one for my parents. The other I just filed away and forgot about.| Later she found the letters, and made copies for her children and grandchildren. Her children thought they were worth sharing.
