The Letter was worn by a woman named Hester Prynne,she lived in the Massachusetts colony from 1640 to her death in 1690s.

Hester Prynne was the wife of an learned English man and would help people in need and ill. Hester and her husband lived in Amsterdam and then decided to try luck in Massachusetts.
