Remembering the letter that had been addressed to her, she quickly pulled to mail from her pocket. Setting the other two envelopes aside, she ripped the one addressed to her open and smiled when she realized that Tilly had written to her for the first time since she had taken the train west.
Dearest Mary-Beth,
I hope that this letter finds you in good health. I know it has been some time, but I have missed you so and wanted to tell you about what life out West was really like.
As you may have heard, the West is reputed to be wild and unlawful. I have found it to be a little rough, but not as bad as people rumor it to be. The air here is fresh, and the land is beautiful. It amazes me to see so much land that has been untouched. When I look out and see nothing around but nature for miles, I know that I did the right thing.
Besides the beauty out here, I have some other news. When I arrived at the train station, I was met by Tam Wilder, the man whom I’m to marry. He informed me that he wanted to do right by me, and took me to his parents’ home so that we could properly court. I’ve been here for three months now. His parents are kind and lovely people, but I long for the day that I can be with my husband.
The other night, Tam arrived at the house and told me that it was time for us to marry. He was sure that I was the one for him. So, we have planned the wedding for the beginning of next month. I have also told him that I wish for you, Mary-Beth, to come out and stand with me while I devote my life to him.
So, Tam has agreed and will be sending out his best friend, Jacob, to meet you and accompany you back here. He is due to be there a week after the date of this letter. Tam has provided him with enough money to get both of you here, so do not worry about paying for a thing. I hope that you will meet him there and come and share my wonderful day with me! If you cannot, I understand.
If you cannot come, please write immediately. I miss you and hope to see you in a short amount of time!
Sincerely,
Tilly
Mary-Beth had to catch her breath as she finished reading her friend’s letter. Without hesitation, she looked to see when the letter was dated. Jacob was due to meet her in two days! She needed to get her grandparents to agree to this and pack! She wanted nothing more than to see Tilly marry the man whom she had grown to love out west.
“Are you okay, Mary-Beth?” her grandmother asked as she set the letter down on her lap and reached for her cup of tea.
“This letter is from Tilly. I have not heard from her since she went west to marry. She has set a wedding date, and she wishes for me to be there with her. Her fiancé is sending his friend to accompany me on the trip in two days.” She looked at her grandmother to see how she would react. If her grandparents were to tell her she should not go, she would respect that.
“Well, now, that is different. I have heard that those cowboys marry their mail order brides the moment they step off the train. How wonderful that she wants you to attend. It would be good for you to get away for a bit. Who knows, maybe you will meet someone there?” her grandmother smiled secretively.
“Will you and Gramps be all right without me here? I know he has been ill. I won’t leave if you say that you need me here,” Mary-Beth assured her. Everything within her wanted to go, but she had a responsibility to her grandparents.
“He will be okay, as will I. Go get yourself packed, and I will discuss it with him when he rises from his nap. I can tell you’re excited.” Her grandmother smiled lovingly at her.
Mary-Beth carefully rose and cleared the tea from the small porch table. She had a lot to think about and pack before she left, and she had just two short days to do it. A sense of adventure and excitement overtook her as she made her way slowly to her
