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.

Dear Old Crone,
How's about meetin' at Bumppo's Saturday night for a friendly snootful? We can watch how the new dress code goes over. Besides, I'm curious to see if anybody shows up without the scalp his eagle feather was attached to. Some kind of mystery here about the traffic in used eagle feathers.
She, etc.
