It was strange to sign her name with the title, but this morning, she felt the responsibility and authority of the position for good. She set the second letter aside to dry, trimmed her pen and she wrote her third letter to her aunt in London.

Dear Aunt,

I must impose upon you and ask for assistance with a matter of information while depending upon your greatest discretion. In recent days, we have made the acquaintance of a new officer in the militia stationed here in Hertfordshire and he has told me a tale that has greatly disturbed me. I would ask you to make inquiries among your acquaintance in Lambton and Derbyshire regarding a gentleman named George Wickham. Mr. Wickham has mentioned that he grew up in Lambton and Pemberley and that he was disappointed in his profession because he was unable to take orders.

There are inconsistencies in his story and I am making this inquiry because of his presence near my family and his connection to Derbyshire where I shall live in the future. If possible, please do not use my name in your inquiries – it will not do for the Countess of Bailey to stir gossip and trouble among the people of Derbyshire before I am in residence.

Your loving niece,

Lizzy
