It is not surprising that such proximity to a hungry pack of wolves would make him have some scruples about returning to work in such an insecure out of the way region. But with the mornings light, the old feeling of fear would vanish with the fleeing wolves and back to his work he would go again.

The approach of winter with frosts and snow drove them to seek a dainty morsel in the slautre? of a lamb or a calf and thus they were often tracked in the newly fallen snow on one occasion, at the yard of the Elder Stephan Bowerman when there were both cattle & sheep, the light even snow betrayed a visit by a pair of those hungry denizens of the wood and showed too the sagacity of both sheep & cows and the wholesome dread of the wolves for the ?allins lions. The tracks showed in the morning where the wolves had crossed the yard – The sheep had crowded close together by the sides of the barn and in a semicircle formed by the cattle which acted as a guard to the more timid and defenceless sheep.

There was no escape from their pens with the drifts loose heavy snow outside, except for the larger and more active buck which would bound away when alarmed, to some neighboring snow pen – leaving the females (does) to be easily captured.

We were very pleased to receive your Christmas Greetings & note, & thank you so much for remembering us. We too enjoyed the time spent with you & are grateful for the help you gave. We reached home in Oct. but found such an array of tasks awaiting us, after our absence, that we were obliged to neglect family history & correspondence. I fully expected to get a card & note to you for Christmas, but that, too, was side-tracked when one of our sons & his family arrived a week before we looked for them to spend their first Christmas in Kans. Since 1938. We have finally resumed work on the family history, and are sending you my Bowerman line, also a copy of the data we have accumulated, from Thomas’ down.
