It took us 5 days to get everyone wagon picked up and fixed. We now in Fort Kearny, I wrote a letter to my mom and Caroline to tell them everyone is alright and that we are doing good. I hope it gets to them very soon and they write back soon.

We will stay here for 2 days, we had to organize the wagon because we just threw stuff in there after the storm. Rae had to get a sling and a cast when we got
