John Holliday was tending to his stable, giving his cabalos(1) some long, needed groomings. One of his estate hands called him from just outside and came in the open door of the stable.
"Mr. Holliday," he said holding an envelope, "this came for you." He handed him the letter, turned and left.
He opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and began reading. As he read, a smile crossed his face.
"Well I'll be damned," he said, "Reggie Waverly." He finished the letter, put it back in the envelope and slid it in his pocket to finish tending to his livestock.
He later dropped a message to the Waverly's.
It's good to hear from you and Moira again, Reggie. I'm here at Tombstone taking some time for family as I've been away. Drop in if you want anytime.
As to the whereabouts of Mal, well, I have no clue. When he wants to be alone, you and I both know that he's better than most at it. I'm sure when the time is right for him, he'll show again. Let's be patient. If one of us should hear from him, let the other know.
In case your wondering, I'm not upset in any way with him. I even kept his office cleaned at Shasta. He'll be welcomed back should he opt to show.
