Letters to a Lonely Cowboy: A Mail Order Bride Story in 4 Parts (Pt. 2)

Today is a continuation of the last Dear Walter post. Below you will find part two in "Letters to a Lonely Cowboy." Enjoy!

Part Two:

May 20, 1888

Dear Walter,

I was so pleased to receive your letter.

I am sorry to hear that the winter was especially long this year. I do hope that you, your home, and your livestock are doing well.

I am familiar with the hardships of life in the territories. Before my father died we owned a small dairy farm. I do miss him terribly, but I also miss our life there. I would very much look forward to sharing a similar life with a good man by the Grace of God.

You mentioned that there is a church being built some 3 miles from your ranch. I am glad to hear that there is a community of God-fearing men and women in the Wyoming Territory. I have heard that many settlements are suffering and firmly believe that with hard work and daily prayer, a moral and good couple can make a life for themselves.

Please tell me more about your ranch and your hopes for a wife. I await your next message with expectation.

Yours ever,
Clara

Stay tuned for the next installment.
