From The Pebbly Brook Farm Journal

Dear Novak Family,
    Hi! We are still enjoying the benefits of the writing workshop. Rachel (4) dictated a few things, one with James (7) doing the transcribing. I don't know which was more enjoyable as a mom: the words Rachel gave him or the misspellings and way in which he wrote what she said to him. Anyway, continued thanks for all you have helped us with!
    Just wanted to let you know that Emily gobbled up the Pebbly Brook Farm Journal within a few days of the workshop. She was wondering if there was a sequel or if Claire had any additional stories beyond the end of that. So, whenever there is more to share... Please let us know, as she is most interested!

                                                                    Illinois
