The Song of the Friend
(From the Paiute Indian Dialect, Translated by Mary Austin)

This is the song of the Friend,
Made by the Medicine Man
In the young dusk of the spring,
Moonless and tender,
At the hour when the balm-giving herbs
Begin to be musky and sweet along the creek borders,
When the smell of the sage is sharp in the trails of the cattle
And the ants run busily still
Up the poles of the pine trees;
The shuffle and beat of his feet
We heard in the dust by his doorway.

Out and aside from the hut
The pound of his feet and the roll of the ram's-horn rattle
Was more loud than the purr of the creek
Or the wings of the night hawk,
And the drone of his singing sweet
And the night desirous.

All night he sang till the young, thin moon came out,
And about the wolf hour of the morning
The earth by his hut was beaten to dust by his dancing,
And the eyes of the Medicine Man
Were pale as the sloughs before sun-dawn,
And the shadow of all his songs
Lay under them and in the cheek hollows
Like ash on the hearthstone;
And his voice was bitter and thick
As the dust stirred up by his dancing.

And still in my heart I hear the throb of his singing
When I go by the sweet-smelling trails
In the moonless evenings of April.
My pulse is full of the whisper and beat,
Over-full and aching with song,
When the smell of the campfire comes out by the creeks
And the nights are young and desirous.

Mr. Bedford, you should definitely go to the moon. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you could not just turn it down. I know that there are risks of failure that could end badly, but it is worth it. You have worked so hard with Mr. Cavor that you can't just give this up. Yes your business had a downfall but that shoukd not stop you. I know that you might be a little scared or unsure if this will work and I can see that. What is you say no, but it works. What if it works and everything goes right, but you missed the opportunity to go to space, to see that stars and the moon, to see our planet in a way no one has ever seen it before. Then would you be sad and angry that you said no. Then would you have wanted to go and wished you said yes. Keep up the good work and you will make it, you will succeed and it will all be worth it.
