Dearest Martha,

Here upon the war-torn byways of the Oregon Territory, we have borne witness to such deprivations as can hardly be described. Children wander the streets, seeking what sustenance can be found from makeshift tents, the meager produce of local farmsteads.

I know what you mean. My grandson attends Portland State University. Every time we visit we are forced to endure the best Chinese dinner ever at the at the Duck House Restaurant. Try the vegetable dumplings!
