Mr. Sam Bridges,
Thank you so, so much for bringing that cargo all the way out here.👍 I must say, I didn’t think I’d ever get the chance to meet the man I’d heard so much about. I respect your mission to try and rebuild the America of yore, though I can’t say it’s got anything to do with me. Frankly, I’m not even sure if I agree with it in principle…🤔
I really am grateful, though. Thanks to you, my life’s work is back on track. My beloved gourds are looking more healthy and lively than ever. Admittedly, the ideal climate for gourds would be warmer than what we’ve got here, but I’ve managed well enough, all things considered.
I hope my father would be proud. Though he made a living as a novelist, he was also something of a gourd enthusiast. I felt compelled to carry on his legacy one way or another, and since I’m no wordsmith, I really only had one choice.
You know, I read somewhere that gourds used to be considered very lucky in the Far East, and that they’re used as charms to ward off evil. Kind of like that dreamcatcher of yours, come to think of it.🤔
