Gold rush writing
I miss you all dearly. How are you? It's very hard being away but the gold rush is just so important. Life here in California and in the mine camps are unbelievable. We work so much and don't have a lot of free time. Being a part of the Gold rush makes me feel good. It is fun looking for gold but it's hard work. See you soon.
