My dearest Tess,

How are you? I keep hoping you’ll come. I had a letter from Maeve last week. Poor Dadda. I remember what Mamma said to Evelyn and me before she died. ‘Ye have a good father but ye have a hard father.’ When I think of him now, sick, I’m filled with pity. I didn’t always see it this way but now my heart is crying for him, and all his struggles. And the way he always stayed loyal to her. So much harder for a man.

 I long to see you, Tess. When will you come? Write anyway, tell me how you are. I dreamt of you the other night, that you were a little girl again and you fell into the old well. Oh, aren’t dreams terrible things?

 I hope you’re living it up there in the city. I imagine you on summer evenings walking downtown with a handsome man. Oliver too, with that girl you told me about. All of you together.

 And you with your beautiful soul shining out of you. Oh Tess, you’re worth ten of the rest of us.

God bless,

Claire
