Dearest Mattie ~

I find myself taken by a peculiar mood this eve; please pardon me, if you would.  The weather has turned cold.  The year grows short, and something gathers on the horizon like clouds piling dark before the storm.  I doubt it will pass so quickly.  One by one the nights will fall and I wonder who will fall with them.  I do not fear for myself but for those who have become my family in these empty lands.  Though I shall protect them with what life is left in me, I fear failure.  Pray for them. 

Your J.H.H.
