Good evening, fellow Mohicanland Citizens,
Well, another evening coming to a close, and I'm sitting, humming and sewing and getting on with another quilt, as is Miss Katie's want, dontcha know. Rather than wrap round the bod of some 'cauld cratur' in Mohicanland (breech clout and leggings are TEEEEERIFIC to look at, but they don't keep ya' warm at night!), THIS 'wall hanging size, a la Eric', quilt is to be available for purchase at Ariel's Cabin, come the time o' the Great Gathering!
As my sewing needle whips in and out of the red and black material, it brings to mind the many articles of merchandise that has already been pledged by the generous citizens of Mohicanland, that will also be available at Ariel's Cabin. Howsever, MANY MORE articles would ensure an EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL venture in aiding that special child that Mohicanland has adopted! Yes, it would! Now, we don't want anyone from the 'Upper Canada's' thinking we colonists of the 'Albany' area don't know how to assist those in need!!
This poor little nacket we heard tell of that is in need of all this docterin' attention - we have to ensure she don't lose out through lack o' spending power!! I considered just asking Doc. Mary if she'd be willing to help the mite out - then reconsidered. From the stories I hear, as I sit on my verandah and watch the honest folks go by, 'Paediatrics' ain't her specialty! So - we got to stick to raising 'coin o' the realm'!
Therefore, I beseech each and everyone of you that has not yet pledged a donation, to consider the cause! Consider helping out! Feel good about yourselves and let's get to showing that 'Upper Canada' bunch that we CAN do this!!
Three cheers for Mohicanland! Huh! Huh! Huh!
(Beg pardon, got a trifle carried away!! *sheepish grin*.
I remain, your obedient servant,
Miss Katie.
