Z Ward Letters
A series of six letters written in response to the Z-Ward.
These letters are historically plausible but are works of fiction and should be read as such.
They were written in 2021 by Sam Kuhl, a creative writing intern from Flinders University.
Educators are invited to download the letters and share them with their students.
Printing them out and putting them into envelopes is recommended-the materiality of the paper, different fonts, stamps and handwriting makes them visually pleasing, and gives a sense of the time span the letters represent (1891-1963).
Each letter comes with a character profile, writer’s note and envelope.

Letter 3: Upset Mother
