《Legends of the fall》 April 13，1913. Dear Isabel.I&`&m not fool enough to try to recorder a life already lived.But I fear I have not done well raising our sons alone in this wild place.What did I know of children? I was trained to lead men. This is infinitely harder. Dear William. You take too much responsibility on yourself, as always. Our sons are finding their own paths. They are willful, certainly, but then who are and I to complain of willfulness? As for Samuel, I have big news. At a Harvard tea for Amy Lowell, he met and instantly loved Miss Susannah Finncannon. I know it will surprise you greatly. But they are engaged. He will bring her to Montana this summer to introduce her to his brother and you. So William, place behave yourself and be as charming as only you can be. 1913年4月13日 亲爱的伊莎贝尔，我不会笨到想重新改变生活。单恐怕在这荒地上把扶养孩子的工作做不好，我对孩子有何认识?我是个受训带兵的人，但教养孩子却困难得多 亲爱的威廉，你一向太有责任感，孩子会有他们的路，他们任性，但我们能责怪他们的任性吗？至于山莫，我有好消息，在哈佛替罗厄耳开的餐会上，他即时邂逅并爱上了范苏珊小姐，我知道你会很惊讶，但他们已经订婚了。他会带她到蒙坦纳州见哥哥们和你。所以，威廉，你要自制，尽可能和蔼可亲一点。
