Well, I've decided to go to Nevada. Margaret says she'd rather I went there and stayed three years than go to war.

I can make $2.50 a day; that's a lot more than I can earn here or in the army. I wouldn't go at all, but she says it's the only way. I guess she'll make out somehow, but it won't seem right. A man shouldn't have to leave his family.

What happened to the King family?
