"I'm fixing to learn me a whole psalm,
if I don't get hung first.
:51:07
"Well, my pen is bad,
my ink is pale...
:51:11
my love for you will never fail.
:51:13
Adam".
:51:22
Sarah, do you suppose you've got
an extra piece of paper in the house?
:51:25
I want to make some notes
while I'm talking to your mother.
:51:28
We ain't got any paper that I know of,
but we got a new almanac.
:51:31
- Reckon you could write on it?
- Almanac? Why, yes, it's just the thing.
:51:37
Carrie Sue, my mouth's beginning to water
for some of those turnip greens.
:51:41
Honest?
:51:42
Do you think there's anything
you can do about that?
:51:44
Yeah! Sarah and me'll
fix some together.
:51:52
Thanks, Sarah.
:51:58
Now, then, suppose you tell me
somethin' about the boys.
:52:02
Well, there ain't very much to tell.
:52:08
Your husband - did he die?
:52:12
Yeah. The summer after we got here.
We just finished building the house.
:52:16
It's a fine house, all right.
Not a nail in it.
:52:20
No, he was mighty good
with his hands.
:52:24
He was killed by a drunk Indian.
:52:27
It was 'long round sundown.
:52:29
I was just coming back from milking.
:52:32
Adam was clearing out the timber,
and Matt was down with a fever.
:52:39
That Adam - I'll bet he knew
what to do with an ax.
:52:44
Yeah. He takes after his father.
:52:47
Matt was always the puny one.
:52:49
Why, once when he was a baby,
I- I held him for two days...
:52:54
while he was burning up
with lung sickness.
