OHYAT: Apples, Oranges, and ONIONS
Feb. 22nd, 2012 06:35 amAfter the dog teams arrived at Teddy's camp, the blizzard descended again, but ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY, the weather cleared enough to rush Teddy back to Hut Point, where he could be better cared for, and to send Demetri on to the main base with a letter for Silas Wright.
Dear Silas,
I have just brought in Teddy Evans from beyond Corner Camp with a hellish go of Scurvy. I want you please to take my team South to meet the last party. If you cannot possibly do so ask Cherry. I cannot leave TE in his present state. Please come as soon as Demetri will bring you and try to hurry him up. Bring with you some few apples, Oranges, and Onions.
These above are important.
If you can bring him some Mail letters and a vest and pyjama trousers but don't delay about these latter. All news when I see you. Love to everyone at the Hut. Five have gone to the Pole. Crean will give you the news.
