Wiley (since you mentioned SQ

,
I have never heard of Bloomfield before.
This is moving in its simple honesty as well as its fluency. There is something familiar in the voice that reminds me of early settlers' journals in New Zealand. The industry and sense of mortality and unbeatable odds imbue many such texts. Thank you so much for posting this.
The other link would not open for me alas.
Best,
Janet
