Mercy Graves

Mercy receives his carpentry tools except his hammer and a letter.

Sister,

If you's reading this it grieves me sore to lay another loss at your feet. I know you's good with it but you take it hard. I seen it with Garner. You was like somebody from home just walked right out of my world and met me here. I know it ain't so. They's lots of differences to.

Still felt like it. Felt like home when I ain't hardly ever had none. I'm grateful. I'd be grateful if you has anything you'd like to say. I done had my ashes sent to that family we helped in Wolf Pen to be scattered in the holler. Its not just where I met them but where we found all them fish to be able to do what we done. Its the first time I felt good about anything I ever done in a long time so I think its a good place to rest.

If there is an afterlife and you make it there to me and Lennie will be there to say hi and invite you to set a spell. You'd always have a place with us.

Love,
George
