Second part of letter in The Journey from Lona to her folks

The horses cut up so, he knew something was out there. Whatever it was stayed at the edge of the woods. I made sure my windows were closed that night. We'll battle anything that tries to steal our bacon.
It is warm tonight, and the lamp draws candle flies and bugs, but I couldn't wait until morning to write. I try to be in the garden at daybreak while Charlie is still inside. Of course, my stooping is limited. I'm on my knees a lot, but that's where I feel I should be as I watch the first pink rays of morning light settle over everything. Gods Creation!

Part of a letter in The Journey from Lona to her folks in North Carolina

April 12, 1902
Dear Mama,
I wanted to surprise you, so I haven't mentioned having a picture made, but here it is. This is the next best thing to being there with all of you. As you can see, I'm getting pretty big........I haven't seen any cougars lately, although I have heard wolves at night. They seem to be most active when there is a full moon. So far, we've been able to keep the hogs safe. Charlie slept in the barn one night........
