And we’re back after our short break, a break that, for me, was very exciting. Over the last couple of weeks I have been to Cimarron in New Mexico, with my younger daughter, to visit many of the places that Henry mentions in his letters. We stayed in the actual house that Henry and his family lived in and where many of the letters were written. I also recorded an episode of the podcast in the house which is now the Grand National B & B. I will be posting photographs on the podcast Instagram page.

This is a mixed bag of a letter, bills to be paid, company comings and goings, paucity of letters from home and, of course, the weather.
