My Bonnie Jean

I have to apologise for not answering this before but we have been almost continuously in trek since December 13.   I've had but little time. But I was just tickled to death to get your thrice welcome letter from the Vale. Gee I wish I could bolt up to Ranchel Vale for a   weekor two.   It could fill out my thin face   - especially as I could have unlimited milk .

This is supposed to be the land of milk and honey - well I did see a Bedoin Bint milking a cow the other day but all the milk Ive tasted is tinned, and so is the honey.
