Hi, All!

....
  He meant for us to dig. I'll have Joe fetch a shovel as soon as we 
(come to him)."

"Well, that was easy," said Kate, putting the letter away inside her 
bucket. "Now all we have to do is get there!"
-------------------

If I were they :) I'd write "I'll have Joe _to_ fetch a shovel" and "Now

Bye, All!
