Dearest Prissy -
How are you my friend? I am worried about you dear. You have seemed, a bit out of sorts the past few days. I know this awful business with Sheriff Barker has affected all of us. Do not worry though, I have spoken with the new Marshal and he seems like a very capable fellow. I am sure he will deal with this wild outlaw and return our town to the side of law and righteousness. Apparently this Kid Holmes is not acting alone. The Marshal says he has collected a small gang of cut throats and villains up in the foothills. Marshal Johnson, his first name is Snake ( isn't that odd ), has spoken to my John about becoming a deputy. I must say I am not too happy about the prospect. Maybe your Johnny could be of use to him as well. I know you are still worried about him not finding any regular work. Maybe this could be an opportunity for him?
How are things between you dear? I know you fear he has lost his way. Just stay strong in the word of the Lord, Prissy. Everything has it's place and reason, as you know. Things will be alright.
Oh, I almost forgot, Prissy do you happen to know Marshal Johnson? Maybe from before you and Johnny moved to Red Creek? I ask because this morning as I stood outside of John's Livery speaking with the Marshal and John, I saw you coming out of Miss Daisy's Store. When I called your name you must not have heard me for you hurried off down the street. But the Marshal seemed to been thunderstruck or something. He kinda froze up and just stared after you. He asked what your last name was. A look came across his face that I would be hard put to describe. Full of pain and sorrow. Yet dark and angry. I mentioned that you were the school teacher, and married with a beautiful baby boy. He suddenly just turned and walked away back to the jail. I thought it strange. He must have you confused with someone else he once knew. But other than that he seems like a real nice man.
I must be going my dear friend. Do not worry too much over this outlaw in our midst. I am sure he will be dealt with soon and all will return to normal.
All my Love,
Sally Roberts
