Very interesting historic letter from Amelia to her husband to be, George Putnam which shows her reluctance to the marriage.

Thanks for the ‘update’ on the ‘out of date’ news! 🙂
It was still interesting news to me that I was not aware of and possibly to many others. You make valid points. 😉

This is just a sign of how the modern Internet pseudo-journalistic sites feed on each other. This was originally published a few days ago in Slate, and now its competitor Huffington Post–a pure aggregator–has gone and copped it.
Even funnier is that this is ancient news, perhaps even non-news. The pre-nup has been published in every substantial Earhart biography for the last 30 years, yet the Slate author claimed to have “stumbled across it,” as she put it, in the Purdue University archives. (She’d have saved a lot of time by Googling it.)
These poor bloggers are so driven to publish something, anything, that they’ll soon be posting that the sun comes up in the east. And then the -real- news, that actually the sun isn’t “coming up” at all…
George was Putnam, by the way, not Putman.
