I stayed home for a while I revived this letter from Jessica the other night I was so excited to get it I read it over and over again the letter read Dear Nadia,I am on my way back south to you I will be there in less then five weeks I miss you dearly and I hope you will be saying your goodbyes to everyone and will ready to head to Harriet's plantation so we can leave this horrible horrible place and I can't wait to see the journey is long cold and as bearable as it gets xoxo -Jessica I read the letter over and over again I couldn't wait to see Jessica she was like a sister. NADIA! I heard from the kitchen I went to the kitchen yes Harper? I need you to run to the store for me ok I said she gave me a nickel I gasped where did you get this you see me and Beath do all the work Harper just cleans up the cabin and cooks I couldn't think how she got this I found it don't tell anyone not even Beth how is she not gonna not realize one whole loaf of bred a stack of meat a bottle of shardanea!
