At this she felt so grieved that she cried whole nights about it and concluded that we had better give it up I don't know how it will end but we wont give up if I can help it Please to write soon and tell me what I had better do about it I hope you wont expose me nor make mother angry, but I want you to help me I am still in Forbes store and will continue untill harvest unless I am drafted.
