Toby and Faith Mars says howdy. He says tell Toby most his traps are for coon and they probably won't bring much this year. Says he will be huntin' with bow and black powder. I need to tell him about Lewis (of Lewis and Clark) 44 cal "airgun" that held the air in the stock made of cast iron. Took 1100 pumps from a bicycle tire pump to charge it. Then it would fire 40 each 44 calibre pellets that would pass through a inch pine board at 100 yards and was dead on accurate.

Yup, I got a cop of Ol' Lewis's journal from that expedition, they kept the men fed well with that air rifle; he wrote of taking many deer and antelope sized game with it.

Letter and news clipping from Mars. He went to trial and pled out a couple charges ending up of course guilty on several. He drew total of 8 years concurrent. He is scheduled for a probation hearing on the third of October. Look decent that it will be granted. He said to tell you all hello and that he appreciates the prayers and support. In my view he is sincere in his humility and repentence. I see from some of his conversations that he has been effective in change to many of his fellow inmates. I am reminded of Paul the former Christian slayer and disciple of Christ and the "thorn in his side" of which he spoke. Just wonder if that thorn wasn't the guilt over his sin. In any case Mars is well and hopes to move forward. Please kedep him in your lprayers.

Got a letter from Mars yesterday. Haven't read it yet but will let you know what he has to say soon, probably today. I haven't heard from him since Christmas. OK, so I'll read it already! Looks like things with the family have held together. He says his daughter turned 18 last Friday and she wants to visit him. Very good news. He got in a disagreement with his cell mate and now his has a single! LOL Said the dude was bragging about having ten kids with six white women and is 75K behind in child support. I guess he pushed the wrong buttons. He is fine and looking forward to getting released. I believe his review comes up in July if not mistaken.
