HerrKaiser:
the idea of jack's insurance policy and how Ennis would act having received it is a nice way to see Ennis go on, and a nice way to know how Jack 'took care' of him.
but, it is interesting how it seems money and its uses ever so frequently (always?) endsup a solution to our issues. Good or bad, right or wrong, the old dollar trumps the pure humanness all to often.

Dear Mr. Del Mar(Ennis)
I know how hard Jacks death has been on us and must surly been on yourself. Had some things of his I thought I would send up to you that I think he would want you to have. Please let me know if I can send them care of this address. They are as follows.
-Saddle, Jack had a couple of nice saddles this one he had the longest and Bobby said this was the one he always took on yourfishing trips.
-Hooded heavy coat, nearly new thought you would like wearing it when it gets cold.
-30 30 shotgun, this is the one he took hunting and had the longest. Bobby got another one.
-Seiko wristwatch.
-Thought you might want this, it's just and old belt way to small for Jack for a long time ,but its has a bullridding buckle.
-Several shirts you should get good use out of, take the ones to Goodwill you don't want.
-Two pairs of cowboy boots.
Jack thought an a lot of you and spoke very well of you. Hope the letter finds you well and please give my regards to your family. If there is anyting I can do for you please let me know.

What wonderful alternatives. I love the one about the will and life insurance, It's easier to think about Ennis being at least comfortable and sad than poor and sad. The last one with Alma jr. was a treasure! Thanks
