Dear Mother,

After Althea rested, we talked, and a few things came to light. She, as herself, is no longer the guardian of this place. We could hook her up in the temple again, but it wouldn’t work. This place needs a new guardian. Someone young, who loves nature, who can take care of this place. Someone like me. I hope you can understand.

Samantha

Dear Mother,

Now I hope, perhaps, you will read these out of order. Yes, I volunteered to sleep. I went to the temple and lay upon the table now bursting with vines and leaves. Omar started to find the tubes that would make the change, but Father stopped him.

“Why?”

I sat up, ready to argue, but he held up his hand.

“I understand why you feel the need, but is this truly necessary?” he asked. “We can learn. We have technology now, we can make things grow with our hands, and hard work. We can do it as we are. Would you help me with that, instead, if I asked you?”

Father wants to stay, and I want to help. He’ll be traveling back and forth, and I’ll stay, but I need help too. There is a whole island to be irrigated and planted and maintained. I can’t be the only one here, even with Althea to show me what she knows. I need finishing. I need my own mother. Father will be back in England within the month to collect supplies and bring you these letters. When he returns, we will begin working to bring this place back to life like our own giant garden. Please be on that ship when he returns. I know you’ll love it here like I do. I love you, Mother. I hope I’ll see you soon.

Love always,

Samantha
