The Little Fellow Stood The March Finely, And It Is All
Owing To That Terrible Old Wagon That Was Such A Comfort In Some Ways,
But Caused Me So Much Misery In Others.

warm; they are made of large logs placed horizontally, and the inner
walls are plastered, which will keep out the bitter cold during the
winter.

CAMP BAKER, MONTANA TERRITORY,
December, 1877.
THIS post is far over in the Belt Mountains and quite cut off from the
outside world, and there are very few of us here, nevertheless the
days pass wonderfully fast, and they are pleasant days, also. And then
we have our own little excitements that are of intense interest to us,
even if they are never heard of in the world across the snow and ice.
The Rae family was very much upset two days ago by the bad behavior of
my horse Bettie, when she managed to throw Faye for the very first
time in his life! You know that both of our horses, although raised
near this place, were really range animals, and were brought in and
broken for us. The black horse has never been very satisfactory, and
Faye has a battle with him almost every time he takes him out, but
Bettie had been lovely and behaved wonderfully well for so young a
horse, and I have been so pleased with her and her delightful gaits - a
little single foot and easy canter.
