Dear James,
Food is very little for us. I’m thinking about planting some more of the seeds I’ve saved up over time. We could have some squash and kale, and some carrots. I’ve planted a small garden for the pigs,Pasado, Flossy, and Napoleon. Hopefully it will be enough. I planted pumpkin, squash, and kale seeds just for them. I also let them roam about in the forest to munch on a few roots and such. I think that they will be fine, although they are very thin and scrawny.
As for us, I just finished a small boiled potato for breakfast. I’m still ravenous...you know I have a grand appetite!
Aunt Alice recently suggested I enroll in the military. I told her that I thought I would be much better use at home. Carrie was sobbing uncontrollably, hanging to Aunt Alice’s dress, demanding that I stay at home. Carrie cried that I would die, just like father had. Aunt Alice broke into tears and told me that I really didn’t have to enroll....it was just a brief thought. She said she would fight in the military if she were a man.
I admire your courageousness, James, for I have not even a small speck of braveness in my rattling bones. I would be so very frightened if I were to fight in the army. I would die on the battlefield in a second, but of panic. I hope all is well with you...
Sincerely,
Ezra
