Sitting around the campfire a few days south of Gettysburg, Malinda asks, “Luke, I sure wish there was something we could do to help Matthew and the Holmes families. I am so proud of Matthew; the work he and Mark are doing is a gift from God. We must find some way to help them.”
Luke had also been thinking about Matthew’s situation and the good deeds they are doing for the injured soldiers. Thinking of the gold mine, he said to his mother that he had an inkling of a plan to help get Matt and Mark money for their work, but he would let her know more when they returned to South Carolina.
