I’m Writing You

Published November 25, 2019

Dear Marla, Jack, Dan (x2), Carter, Iris and everyone else who sent me a letter while I was out on my latest mule ramble,

This is what my desk looks like.

My writing desk/dining room table. Whew, what a mess: this pile includes a LesSchwab tire receipt, a tape gun, my journal and a copy of Stephen Ambrose’s “Undaunted Courage”

Still, I wanted to let you know I got your lovely letter. As you know, my wife Julia and I love getting hand written mail. Thing is, I’m just getting settled back in to homestead life back here in Western North Carolina and it’s taken me a while longer than I’d planned to write you back.

Fear not. I won’t finish “Undaunted Courage” before you hear back from me.

Thanks again for your terrific letter. It means so much to me.

’til my letter lands in your letter box!

Bernie

PS: Dan 1, and Dan 2. I wrote you tonight!
