Dear Hadleigh,

* * *

It has been three months since I saw you last, and I hope you have been getting my letters. The ones I have been sending you twice a month. Mama says—and Papa agrees—that I must not pester you while you are in mourning, but I hope you find my correspondence a comfort and not a bother.

I wish I had more entertaining tales with which to regale you but, alas, you must content yourself with my schoolmiss adventures. Things have improved considerably at Mrs. Southbridge’s Finishing School now that Glory and Fiona are here with me. Sally Sackville is still up to her tricks—next time I will tell you what she did to poor Miss Tomlinson, a new pupil—and she even tried to give me, Fi, and Glory a mean-spirited moniker: the Willflowers.

Unfortunately for Sally, my friends and I like the name and have decided to keep it.

I hope you are sleeping and eating better and that the country air is improving your constitution. If you wish to reply, I will be at our London address until October. After that, we will return to Scotland. We will be hosting our usual Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations at Strathmore Castle, and you are invited, of course, but by no means obligated to attend (although I do hope you will).
