2nd October 1890

Sadly I wasn't able to salvage the saddle bag, however it made for some very lovely scrap leather for various purposes around the land, so no need to fret too much. Perhaps for Christmas I'll ask for a new saddle bag. I'm so pleased Ginger liked her newest addition! I should hate to think that my saddle bag was left for scraps and not go to good use.

I'll be sure to check in on him every now and then - both of my brothers can be terribly grumpy, but then again, so can my entire family, so we are well equipped to deal with such antics.

I hope I have the pleasure of encountering both you and your fine furry gold-loving friend soon too.
