Elizabeth wrote the letter.  Her sister Eliza Lillian apparently went by "Lily".  I found a document buried in my files that my great-aunt had done and it was a small family tree for Charles and George Whitaker.  Now all I need to figure out is who is Charles and George's grandfather (their father is John who would seem to be a brother of my Sarah Whitaker).

That's interesting that there were 2 sisters with similar names. My great-grandma and her younger sister, born 1860s-70s were both Elizabeth. The elder had a middle name and my mother always used both names when speaking of her. The list of next of kin on her brother's military record has her under her middle name. Another sister was Mary Ann but apparently was known as Sally, probably after her aunt and great-grandma.
The second letter is much easier to read than the first.
