Letter #42 To My Benefactor

Dear Benefactor,
The last time I wrote you, I mentioned that Ken and I were going camping with some friends on the other side of the mountains (with our new RV) and I would try to go hiking, using those boots you bought me.
Remember how I also mentioned my fear of rattlesnakes?
Someone in our party got stuck up on the hilltop blocked by a rattlesnake—the hilltop depicted in this picture, in fact—and by then, any inclination I had of going hiking went out the window because I just couldn’t conquer my fear.
I went biking every day instead.
Sincerely,
Marie
