Francis read through the advertisement once more, wondering what Andrew would do if he sent off a letter to this woman for him.  Things were bad at home, though.  They were living off of beef jerky and whatever bread they could buy from the mercantile.  Matilda would pick berries, and they’d have those for dessert.  They needed someone to cook and clean for them.  He couldn’t do it.  Mattie needed someone to teach her.  So did he and Arthur for that matter.
    He went into the mercantile and a
...sked for a pencil and paper, deciding to do it while he had his confidence up.  How to word the letter?  He sat down on a bench in front of the mercantile and quickly wrote out his family’s situation, explaining what he wanted in a sister-in-law but said wife and signed his brother’s name.  Yes, that would do nicely.  He walked it back into the mercantile for the owner, George, to post.  It was the only post office in Nowhere, Texas.  He knew it was a silly name for a town, but it was the only one they had.  Hopefully potential brides wouldn’t be afraid to travel to a place called Nowhere.MoreLess
