‎Miller Sue‎

‎The Senator's Wife‎

‎Alfred a Knopf Inc 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 306 pages. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. In her seven previous novels Sue Miller has demonstrated the distinction between being a dependable storyteller and a predictable one. The Senator's Wife provides further affirmation that she belongs in the former category a lyrical writer who consistently delivers page-turning domestic dramas that unfold quiet surprises as she peels back the layers of artifice and reserve that shield her complex middle-class women. Synopsis Meri is newly married pregnant and standing on the cusp of her life as a wife and mother recognizing with some terror the gap between reality and expectation. Delia wife of the two-term liberal senator Tom Naughton is Meri's new neighbor in the adjacent New England town house. Tom's chronic infidelity has been an open secret in Washington circles but despite the complexity of their relationship the bond between them remains strong. Soon Delia and Meri find themselves leading strangely parallel lives as they both reckon with the contours and mysteries of marriage: one refined and abraded by years of complicated intimacy the other barely begun. With precision and a rich vitality Sue Miller beloved and bestselling author of While I Was Gone brings us a highly charged superlative novel about marriage and forgiveness. The New York Times - Judith Warner I won't reveal how the final betrayal occurs but will just say that in this particular moment Miller plays her hand in a masterly fashion. Shock deceit desire and despair come together at once in a way that feels simply like fate. In that remarkable bit of novelistic choreography I saw in Miller what her fans have always seen: a clever storyteller with a penchant for the unexpected and a talent for depicting the bizarre borderline acts the unfortunate boundary crossings and the regrettable instances of excessive self-indulgence that can destroy a world in a blink. Biography: Sue Miller is an expert in limning the pain of endings but if this were the extent of her talents she probably would not be as successful as she is. In Miller's books one broken relationship often leads to the development of another. Her stories may not offer pat answers and perfect love stories but readers find something more rewarding in the end. Alfred a Knopf Inc Hardcover‎

You must excuse my silence I have hardly found time to sleep this summer. On the 19th of this month we had a hard earthquake shock it shook our house badly knocking down pictures it was accompanied by a loud rumbling report. On last Saturday the 27th inst. we were visited by a terrific cyclone it lasted not over five minutes that is the worst of it; but during that time it did a great deal of damage. I had noticed in the afternoon that a storm was gathering and about half past five I went to the other end of town on an errand thinking that I could return before the rain. I did not stay much over a minute at the house and when I came out I noticed a strange cloud in the north west it had grown very dark the sky seemed almost black save this one cloud which was of a luminous gray color. It was cone shaped like this drawing of a cyclone shape and was moving at a fearful rate not more than 15 feet above the ground that is its lower edge it came rolling and tumbling sweeping everything before it. I ran for dear life to get home for I thought that we were all to be killed and I wanted to be with Leb and Baby but I could not outrun the storm it was on me before I knew it. The street was thickly lined with shade trees all the way until within a short distance from our house; when I reached this cleared space I could hear the trees crashing behind me; and a gust from another direction was blowing against me. My breath gave out before I reached home and I had to turn in at Mr. Beabout's next door. I got inside the gate just as Mr. Berry's house across the street went crashing down. Our barn and Mrs. Bland's stable are flat on the ground. Mr. Berry's house is demolished a dozen or more barns sheep houses houses &c. are ruined right in town; the Disciple Church is pronounced unsafe in an apple orchard back of us but 2 or 3 trees are left. Our old shop had a large portion of its roof rafters and all taken. Some of the weatherboarding is blown off of our house. But I don't think of that I am glad that none of us were killed…We send love to all. Write soon Maud"</i></p><p><i>"Perryton Ohio Sept 2 1900</i></p><p><i>Dear Mamma</i></p><p><i>I received your very welcome letter as I would have rec'd one from the dead. I have written to all of the folks in rotation and have heard from not one letter until receiving your postal. How is Hulda's health this summer I did hope that I would be able to come "East." This summer but that ever-ready question of finance bobbed up and stopped me. I hope that I will be able to come home before I get so old that I can't travel. We are straining every nerve to get a good stock of goods in our store; we have 5 times as much as when you were here. Frank goes to Newark tomorrow to work in the glass-house if he likes it he will stay about 3 mos. and then go to school. We could not spare Floyd for this reason and then I do not think that you ought to keep house. You would have to have some one to prepare and make you eat your meals at the proper time; you cannot stand the same system of recuperation that you did twenty years ago. Floyd is only a child and has a healthy boy's appetite I doubt if you could cook enough in one day to last him a day.</i></p><p><i>We do not intend to stay here all our lives when we have a good chance to sell out we will do so. Now Mamma don't live by yourself. I expect that you have as nearly a perfect home with the girls as you will ever have on earth. "Such polite well-bred children no smoking no drinking no hard or sordid work." No tired out cross worked down women. I know of few such homes. I am always glad to have you with me why not come here To be sure there is nothing inviting in my surroundings but I would give you filial respect. I wish that you would send me one of your dictionaries the next time Rudo sends me anything. Do you think that Frank could find employment with his uncle He is a careful & trusty clerk; his whole trend is to become a businessman he does not care for the professions. I think that Floyd will make a professional man he is just about lazy enough…</i></p><p><i>We have a large filtered cistern just adjoining the back porch and a double floored porch over it 12 x 14 ft. I have had a great quantity of water all summer enough for every purpose & for Mrs. McCann's use to as long as she lived there. The old Dr. died the last of July and she broke up housekeeping right away. She is going to New York about the first of Oct. to spend the winter with her daughter Addie a Bellevue nurse. Dr. Cullison has been on a 'tear' nearly all summer. He uses opium & drinks hard with it and every so often he goes 'stark staring mad.'

The thing now for you to do is to show a little mercy to yourself. The children have all now received from you everything that a Mother could give and many things more than a Mother generally gives and it seems to me that what little time is allotted to you should be taken in as much comfort as possible. Both you and I are growing old this earth and with that in sight I think it is the duty of both of us to let up on ourselves and serve the rest of our time as easily as possible.</i></p><p><i>You know I am not much of a letter writer. I don't believe Fannie ever got six letters from me in the thirty years we have been married but that should not make any difference between us.</i></p><p><i>I do not know anything about the Neff family except that I suppose they are alive and well as they never visit us. The only time I ever see them is when I go over to Salem and force myself into their presence.</i></p><p><i>Huldah is not very well although she keeps happy and busy with her grandchildren. We expect her to spend Sunday after next with us at the little farm we own in Amesbury where we spend the summer time. It is a twenty-one-acre place on the border of a Lake. We have six acres in garden and raise almost everything the household needs up there including a little 'hell.'</i></p><p><i>It seems to me that Warren Harding died in order to tie the American people closer together and bring out the universal spirit of reverence for men who have served the Nation which spirit was rapidly disappearing in all directions. You probably know that all progress the World has ever made has been the result of some shock. It seems that people no matter how civilized or well educated or Christianized they may be respond always nobly to the 'gospel of the shock' and are not so early in responding to any other gospel.</i></p><p><i>Calvin Coolidge has visited us at our summer home with his wife and two children and I have a personal acquaintance with him. He will make a great President. There is no doubt about it as he has all the qualities of World Leadership without any of the personal magnetism or 'bull' that men in public life general possess. His heart and head are 100% all right and his capacity is marvelous.</i></p><p><i><br />With best wishes to you and the children from all of us Rudo"</i></p><p><i>"Frazeysburg Ohio Nov 4th 1923</i></p><p><i>Dear Mothers & Slats</i></p><p><i>You want to call in the neighbors doctors & friends as your son has a pen in his hand…</i></p><p><i>I have been busy this summer and fall lots of work. I have been away from home most of the summer started in the first of April and came home to stay two wks ago and have been gone five days of that time. I had to cut the gang that I have been working all summer back to fifteen men was working between 34 & 40. The oil business sure is on the bum here. I wish you would have them to strike dry holes out there as the Cal. oil can be sent to the eastern refineries for less money than the oil here. We have lots of work but are doing just what we can with the men we have…</i></p><p><i>Mother you were asking about the house & Keylor's. Kelyor's moved out the first of Oct. and I haven't any renter now. I have the house up for sale and I think mother that the way things are and the location that if you can get $600.00 out of your home you had better let it go and I will say if the house belonged to me that if I could get $500 I would sell because the house will have to be painted in the Spring & I am afraid it will have to be roofed. If you will leave it to me to make the deal and use my own judgement I may be able to sell. I told you what I would take if it were mine. If you think this not enough let me know. Houses are renting in Perrytown for $3.50 & $4.00 per month so you will have an idea what things are like over there. I don't know whether Agnes told you that I lowered the rent in Apr. for Kelyor I cut it back to $6.00 and that was about a $1.50 more than any other house was renting for and this is not hearsay but personal inquiry. Please consider these things and let me know where I stand…</i></p><p><i>How is the K.K.K. in Cal It is getting to be pretty strong around here.

They have a big case to try in Federal Court today & for two or three days so my work is thru. However in those 3 ½ days I made $25.00 but had to rent a typewriter to take home to do the work on so I got it for a month & it was $4.00 but yet that was pretty good pay I'll say and they were so pleased & appreciative of my work.</i></p><p><i>I do hope I get steady work soon but the weather is so bad – it is raining today again and these Missourians are sure afraid to start anything in the rain. Also the flood has caused a great depression in work. However we will persevere I guess and we will get settled someday…</i></p><p><i>Let us hear from you soon just a note…We both are fine.

We are glad to hear that you have been able to take a vacation. Yes I am working in the same place and Frances is working for the Fire Underwriters. She works in the office. We are sorry that our father has had such bad luck but it seems that every time he goes to the Hospital that his women always leave him because he doesn't have any money to give them. If he had been living a good Christian life he wouldn't have all this trouble now.</i></p><p><i><br />Naturally we should be loyal to our Mother for all the care she gave us when my father was so mean to her. She brought us up to be what we are now and we should really be a credit to her. We are sorry to hear that Uncle Floyd is having a hard time with his business. It is terrible here in Boston. So many are out of work. Most of us are just lucky enough to keep our jobs. I hope that things will be easier for everybody soon. We are having such changeable weather lately.

How is business out there Things are getting worse here every day. I am still holding my job but don't know for how long. I have orders to cut off four of my men the 15th of April. The oil business in Ohio is shot for a long while cannot compete with the Western fields. I hope that Evelyn & Justin can still keep their positions. Tiebout has been working most of the time since the first of the year. So we have not seen or heard much of them. We have had sickness most of the winter. I started the ball rolling when I had the flu. I lost 4 days work the first time I have been off for six years of course I was paid but I hate to have my record broken…</i></p><p><i>Our company has been taking over some production that the Lenard Oil & Gas Co has had connected and has made a lot of extra work for me. I just finished a new gathering system & built a pumping station over back of Staddens Bridge. I am just starting a new gathering system u at Perryton my old home town on brother Joseph Chaney farm. So you see with having to entertain Joseph & look after my work I will be very busy. I hope that Floyd & Anna can come out of this slump with flying colors. Tell them just to take it easy and just make a living and be satisfied there isn't any use of them trying to build up a big fortune just for their kids to fight over. If they can't make anything they needn't to worry for they have lots of company. I have the same size pay check coming in every 2 wks and haven't saved anything for 2 yrs but greens are coming on now so I guess we will have something to eat.</i></p><p><i>…With lots of love from the whole family to Mother Slats & Justin Your scribbling son & all Carl Agnes Kathleen & Pee Wee"</i></p><p><i>"March 10 1933</i></p><p><i>My dear folks all:</i></p><p><i>I received your nice letter the other day and one hasn't much to write about or think of now except the national situation but somehow and someway I am sure that none of us will go hungry. Don't you worry about us back here and we are not going to worry about you folks but just rust in things coming back within a short time. Rome wasn't built in a day and the President has to have time to put into effect a new <u>deal </u>and a new policy. Now don't laugh for it is really a serious situation. But let's give him a chance to do right and perhaps if they make him a King or Mussolini or something he can do something and the Lord above knows that our Congress will never get us anywhere so give the President free reins and his chance to do something. I am for you Franklin if you make a go of it and will even vote for your reelection if you bring this country out of it but I fear he cannot stand the strain and will not be with us that many years longer.</i></p><p><i>Poor Jack is dumbfounded being a Southerner by birth and just having recently returned from the South where his folks sort of rechristened him a Democrat and made him believe that Roosevelt was our Savior etc. all this after I had Jack made a pretty good Republican for the past six years all my work wasted in vain after his Mother and Sisters etc. told him Roosevelt was great. He doesn't know what to think and of course cannot get to me to talk personally but just has to write his ideas etc. after the banks closed but he is trying to cheer me up and yet deep down in his heart he says that what I told him last summer would happen if Hoover was not re-elected if just about all coming true right the first ten days of the Democratic administration. However Jacks says he is a good sport and if Roosevelt saves the country and brings us out of this without suffering too much and makes things better I must become a Democrat but if Roosevelt fails and has to call on Republicans etc. to help him out of this crisis then Jack is never to speak to another Democrat ha!</i></p><p><i>Anyways folks here is what all of us connected with our organization have figured out. If you are paid 20% cash and rest checks do not spend on cent of the cash but hide it some safe place and pass every payroll check immediately on to the grocer baker candlestick maker etc. Don't hold a check a minute. Now Evelyn and Justin I am not sure whether our mortgage read that you had to pay gold tender or not but be most certain that you get a separate receipt for every cent you pay on your mortgage and hold on to those receipts. Don't let any ifs or ands get into the receipt either. Either they take your checks or they don't and get your receipt to these checks. If you get paid in small denomination checks buy so you may get back a little silver and then use another check for the next purchase etc. until you get every check out of your hands. Even buy your next winter coats underwear shoes new tires and everything possible that you can get them to take the checks that is payroll checks for and get yourself all fixed up. Buy all the groceries possible with such checks and store them away. Things in cans and that will keep. The theory is if worse comes to worse have some things on hand to eat and have those checks in some other fellows' hand and then your employer is responsible for the payroll checks or Roosevelt is or anyone but you.</i></p><p><i>Do the same way with the new money they issue and don't hold on to it but buy with it for all you can and pay on your mortgage with it if they will take it pay your insurance taxes etc. but do not hoard it for when the new money is finally called in unless a precedent is set it will be discounted and the ones holding it will get about 35 c on the dollar for all they have in their possession. However some new laws or other may off set these prophesies but pay for everything with those checks and save every cent of currency you get quarters halves etc. And don't keep from buying things you need because next year things will be so high you will not be able to buy them so fix up the car the house lay in grocers and get yourselves underwear coats suits dresses etc. to do for another year if you can possible do so with this new money you might be paid with.</i></p><p><i>However it usually takes all we make to live on as a rule but at that we are passing it on and will not be caught with it on hand. Mother has a hobby about holding onto checks and that is why I warned you about returning my little Kansas City checks immediately and not hold on to them for I was afraid this would be coming. I had no idea that Mother was holding onto any other checks or would have warned her also. We weren't the only ones; millions and millions are in the same boat and if only we all eat that is the main thing.</i></p><p><i>Now don't worry about us back here because we aren't going to worry about you. We know we all are pulling together and don't' knock the President for heaven's sake. That will ruin the country if we do and don't help him during this crisis now that it is on.</i></p><p><i>Do you all notice that Herbert Hoover is remaining in the East Wonder who is insisting that he remain there There is much hopes here that he is being asked by Wall Street or other financiers to remain near until this passes over and that is why he did not go on to California with Mrs. Hoover. He may have to save us yet.</i></p><p><i>All love to each of you and the best of luck Your devoted children Cecelia & Jack…"</i></p><p><i>"December 9 1933 321 West 29th Street New York City N.Y.</i></p><p><i>Dear Maud:</i></p><p><i>Isn't it about time I answered your letter of November sixteenth I think so – we were glad to hear from you and to receive your tin-type.
