There were a number of people operating near enough to this town to make it the best place to send a letter from, but not so close to make travel safe. Such an operation would need food and supplies. They may have brought their own, but if they spent any significant amount of time out here I'll bet they had to resupply at some point. People eat."[/COLOR] She pauses a moment before continuing.
