"The Last Letter Home" ( _sv. Sista brevet till Sverige) is a novel by Vilhelm Moberg from 1959. It is the fourth and final part of the The Emigrants suite, and also the shortest book of the four and has a higher pace than the other books. It tells about Karl-Oskar and Kristina in their late life and eventual death. The novel has a slightly more reflective perspective than the other three, and we get to follow historic events such as The American Civil War and the Sioux Outbreak of 1862 through the perspective of the settlers.
