: : : : : I would like to take this time as well to wish all my Mohicanland family a very Happy New Year and I hope that you were able to give the one you love a tender kiss at midnite or at least been thinking of them if apart. I know I was.
: : : : : I was and still am at Natty Bumpo`s Tavern. Seems that the English and Dutch Traders as well as Elaine, talked me into getting away from my fine French wines and started drinking their rum and brandy. I remember falling asleep in the corner around 2:00am. I`m not sure what all I did. I think I still have most everything I came in with. Can someone tell me if I had my red breechclout or my new black trimmed in white ribbons and silver? Oh well, never mind. I`ll find them later. I have to make it back to my canoe. The river is calling my name.

: : : : The blame is NOT mine -- I assure you. It was those Rascally Rangers who forced their scrub upon me again and again. Nor did it help that the stuff tastes so good!
: : : : Did you by chance lose a small knife? For when I awoke in the Green Mountains (God and the Angels alone know how I ended up there), a knife not mine was with me. Perchance it is yours, sir?

: : : I thank you for clearing that up. Never trust those Rangers while in a tavern. I wasn`t going to mention it after all this trading I must do to get my bree...sligshot back but I have missplaced a small blade. After this trade is all cleared up we shall work a deal for it`s return.

: : Is it possible we have already done some trading in our dilerium? I am missing my balmoral. I can assure, it's loss, while I was lost in the Green Mountains, was most keenly felt, as were the cold winds around my ears without my beloved balmoral. It's navy blue, with a gay flowered ribbon around the band. Is it, perchance, amongst YOUR belongings? Or could the Gnomes have stolen it?

My Dearest FT,
And here I thought you were using my balmoral to make your exit. Perhaps it wasn't entirely suitable in one way or another? Thank God for these long shirts, I always say upon losing my breechcloth!
YMH&LS,
