I forget to mention the date of the boys departure. It was in may. Now that I've cleared that up….
June 23
Dear Revolution,
Hello Darling! I hope this letter finds you well. It has been raining since we arrived. Soldiers have been coming into the barracks drenched and ill. A large cold epidemic swept through the bunks. It was horrible. Headaches, coughs, nausuea. All's I could think of was how good a cup of your chamomile tea would taste. How are the others? Hows Katie? Has Pixie had her baby? Give them all my love.
Love,
Itey
Revolution smiled and ran her finger over his name.
"My toin" said Stress.

Dear Stress,
Hello Love. I miss you and the children so much. I haven't seen any of the guys except Skittery since we were assigned. Did ya know that they was training him to be a sharpshooter? Its true, I saw it with my own eyes. Our boy can shoot a tin can off the top of a tower. Kind of makes me proud to see one a us doing so well. Tommorow we set off, so I'm gonna try to get some rest. Give the girls my love. Kiss Annie and Noah for me.
Love,
Jack
"Skittery? A sharpshooter?" whispered Wish.
"Dat's quite a high 'onor" said Revolution patting her friend's shoulder "In battle, da uddas will rely 'eavily on Skitt's steady hand"
"Sides" said Dagger "'e was always good with a sling shot"
Stress stared out of an open window. Dear god, she thought please keep Jack and the others safe.
"Goils!" yelled Crutchy as he hobbled into the Lodging House "Help!"
"What's wrong Crutch?" asked Bon Bon.
"Its Pixie, I tink she's goin inta labor and I can't find eaida of 'er sistas"
The girls followed Crutchy to where Pixie laid on the floor. It was hard to see the girl they had all protected since she was a kid in so much pain.
"Okay, Pix" said Revolution taking charge "I need ya ta breathe"
