After the Rain: My America 2
“Lincoln's Washington," as Pa calls it.Much of our trip has been lovely. All the leaves are changing. Bright reds and yellows flash by.Our lives are changing, too. We are moving from Gettysburg to Washington City. Pa and Jed are finding new jobs.Best of all, Jane Ellen is changing -- she is going to have a baby in April! She says that we must call the baby "our baby," for it will belong not just to her and Jed -- but to me and Pa, as well. Imagine, in a few months, I will be a ten-year-old aunt!I must close now and comfort Jane Ellen. The movement of the train is making her feel a bit sick.Later,It is near midnight. We are only minutes away from Washington City. I can hardly wait to see Jed.Jane Ellen and I have been worried about him. Two weeks ago, he came here ahead of us. He was planning to start his new job and find us a home.In that time, he has only written two letters. In neither did he mention his work or where we would live. I fear this means he is unhappy.Pa and Jane Ellen a...re talking aboutPresident Lincoln now.MoreLess
