Still in Independence





April 14, 1847
Still in Independence Missouri. Pa says that will be most likely be able to leave any day now. I have met a new friend. Her name is Pepper and she is 14, just one year older than me. I know we will become the best of friends. Last week something real bad happened. A couple of boys were waving there rifles when, "one accidently shot a nine year old in the neck. He died real quick, right where he fell. His family was so brokenhearted they have packed up and headed home to St. Louis. I'm so sad for them."
