: Dear She,
: If'n you see that Girty fellow again soon, git him to tell his Shawnee brothers they're a'going to have to put on some shirts next time they come over to Bumppo's Tavern. It was allright when it was just Hawkeye, but it's gettin' difficult for a woman to keep her mind on business. From now on any man without actual pants is going to have to put a shirt on. Lessen it hurts business, of course.
: And if I were you I'd keep my own scalpin' knife handy with Ol' Girty around. I do.
: Peg
Dear Peg,
Not likely to see that Girty fella again soon. He's huntin' agin, and I better not see him til he comes back with that eagle feather he promised me for my scalpin' tuft.
Howsever, if YOU want to tell Girty and the Shawnees they have to wear shirts at Bumppo's, have at it - I'm not likely to put my dainty self in danger passin' an order like that. Like to start a riot at Bumppo's, that's what I think! Besides, where else can we Femin-nine types get a gander at them shinin' pecs? We aren't often invited to attend Dr. Mary's Ladies' Night at Fort Wm. Henry, ye know.
She, etc.
