: Dear Aunt Aggie,
: Thanks for letting us know Red's whereabouts. It's been a puzzlement to us all for some time, and I'm glad to have it cleared up. As for suggestions to get her outta her cabin, just tell her that her Mighty Mohican Mama Marcia says,
: "Lissen, Wench....don't MAKE me come UP there!!!"
: That should scare her into compliance!
: MMMM

Dear Aunt Aggie,
Many thanks for the information re: Red's whereabouts.
We, Miss Marcia, Miss Gaylee and myself had been probing... ooops, I meant ENQUIRING, yes I did!... as to where Red had got to. We HAD noticed, of late, that a couple of Saturdays have come and gone with the MOST ribald, (and, not to put too fine a point on it, UTTERLY TASTELESS!) 'goings on', issuing forth from Bumppo's. NO WENCH to keep the rabble under control!!
(For heaven's sake, I've had to practically CARRY Miss Marcia home at least twice!!! Now be fair - Brandy is a PRECAUTION - tis said that 'prevention is better than cure'!! And by golly, Miss Marcia has NO INTENTION of 'gettin' it'!!)
On pry.. on talking to Mrs. O'Reilly, it seems 'The Wench had come a cropper and done her back in'! I have to admit that I couldn't quite follow her convoluted story as to how the accident occurred... something about Hawkeye and some Army Major getting in a fight, things were done, no one was spared!! Before anyone knew it, the Wench was on her back, her poor wee Gluteus Maximus black and blue and then... she had her accident!!! Hmmmmmm... Mrs. O'Reilly really doesn't always make a lot of sense, I'm thinking...
Anyway, we, the good ladies of Mohicanland, are glad to hear that the Wench has recovered and we look forward to her arrival back in the Colony.
But I don't know that we, Miss Marcia, Miss Gaylee and myself, can take any more of those ructions up to Bumppo's of a Saturday night, so I would be obliged if you could pass on a message to 'Red' when next you see her: 'Git yourself right back to that Tavern WHERE YOU BELONG!!' (or I'm thinking I will have to start going to the gym if I'm to bring Miss Marcia home regular, like!!)
Your fri'nd,
Miss Katie.
