| Summary | "The Jessica Letters: An Editor's Romance" by Paul Elmer More and Corra Harris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around an exchange of letters between Jessica Doane, a young aspiring writer from Georgia, and Philip Towers, an editor in New York. Their correspondence explores themes of love, literature, and the philosophical dilemmas surrounding ambition and sacrifice, presenting the growing intimacy and emotional complexity of their relationship. The opening of the novel sets the tone for the epistolary format, introducing the characters through their letters. In his first letter, Philip reflects on the nature of literature and expresses concern for Jessica's ambition to dedicate her life to writing, warning her about the difficulties she might face.

Jessica candidly shares her experiences during her visit to New York and her perceptions of Philip, revealing her initial fears and aspirations. The letters develop a rich dialogue, blending humor, earnestness, and intellectual discourse, hinting at the profound connection forming between these two individuals as they navigate their personal and artistic identities.
