I sure had never thought of fruit cake--or mincemeat--before starting on this
book. Am giving it somewhat skeptical consideration. If you're serious about
the recipe-sure, I'll take it. Pumpkin fruit cake sounds interesting. If it
would be a pain to copy and doesn't sound too good, don't bother.

I'm not too far into it, but I have felt like there's more about who comes to
meet him on the trail than on the trail itself. Thought maybe it was just my
reaction.
