We hope you've been enjoying reading "Letters to a Lonely Cowboy." Today is the third installment in our short little story. You can read part one and two by clicking the links. Happy readings!

Part Three:

August 31, 1888

To My Dearest Walter,

You sound like you are in need of a woman’s care. My homemade chicken soup and rhubarb pie would do you wonders. I hope you recover quickly and are soon back on your feet. I bet you will be by the time my letter reaches you in Wyoming, but nevertheless I will keep you in my prayers.

I was thinking about what you said and I know a way I could be useful to your household and to the community at the same time. What if I were to become the local school teacher? I am as good with numbers as I am with letters.

My large book collection could also be turned into a lending library, from which others could borrow. That would make the insensible expense of bringing them with me worthwhile. What do you think? Is it a good idea? I would so hate to lose my books; they are my closest companions besides you.

Impatiently, I await your next letter. Do tell me you are better and how things are going with your cattle. I would like to know if Bessie and her sister Myrtle had girls or boys.

Ever yours,
Clara

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
