Dear Hannah,

It turns out that Shorty had ridden to the cliff dwellings on the 'phantom horse,' which was really just a trick horse that a friend of one of his bank robber buddies had trained. Since my horse was gone, and it was getting dark, I wound up riding it back to the ranch so I could call the sheriff. You should've seen the look on everyone's faces when I rode up on a glowing horse!

It looks like the phosphorescent powder that they used to make the horse glow was harmless, but Tex is taking care of the horse until he's sure it's okay. Mary Yazzie has straightened everything out with the Rawleys, and now she comes over a lot, mostly to see Tex. He turns beet red whenever she's around. It's actually kinda cute.

Speaking of cute, Dave confessed to the Rawleys as soon as they got home from the hospital, just like he said he would. They not only forgave him, they even offered to split the treasure with him, if it turns out they can keep it. Sheriff Hernandez is looking into it. The best part is, Bess and George finally got here and we've been having a ball. Here's a picture of the three of us on our horses. Unfortunately, Dave took it. Guess he didn't realize his finger was over the lens. See you in a couple of days!

Love,
Nancy
