My dearest and most beloved Abigail,
Today I received your letter about arriving in the the old desert area. I'm happy to hear you made it there safely, exempting of course the haunted house where you were about to settle for a bite to eat. Tell your mother thank you for keeping you safe from that apparition, though it surprises me that it was her who saved you. Imagination is a strange thing and I can see you herding cattle and wearing a ten gallon hat, riding a horse under the afternoon sun. Of course that age is long gone, but the thought brings a smile to my face and it's all I can do to stay in good spirits. I won't lie, this separation wears heavily on my heart, though it has only been a short while. Tomorrow I have a plan that may allow me to come see you sooner than expected. Remember my father's old airship? I found the engine parts that have been missing for three months and a fair bit of the hull armor from the junkyard rabble, they were using it as a covering for an outhouse! Vermin. The engraving of the name has worn off, but I feel it's high time she earned a new one.
With Love,
Nidh
