Summary of Recent Events     

     I am so sorry for not posting for such a long time. It’s just that a lot has happened lately. I will just give a quick summary because I have a load of chores to do after this! My stepmother Mercy died, and four months after that, father married Elizabeth’s mother, which took everyone to surprise. So now, Elizabeth and her mother have moved in with us. 

     Father has found work for Red with Judge Whiting, so I am glad I don’t have to worry about him that much any longer. I believe that that was probably the beginning of father’s courtship of Sally Whiting Bachus, because he had been visiting Judge Whiting quite often then. Anyways, Sally has added two healthy children to this family—Charles, who is currently four years old, and Appy, who is one year old. Well,  Sally is calling me for a family gathering, so I shall post the results of that later on!
