All of Mother Scotidas' letters were written in Greek, implying she was an Greek immigrant and probably felt more comfortable
writing in her native language than English.
Frequent topics dicussed in these letters were questions about Hawaii, asking for Scotidas' photographs (he appeared to be
a talented amateur photographer), and talking about the family store business along with other civilian events like weddings.
