Dearest Husband,
I am glad my note made you glad. Waiting for your note has become the best part of my visit and when I read them, I feel even more alive. Whenever I see the carriage of your messenger even from afar, I become very delighted because I know he has come bearing a missive from you. Jem might just about be an angel.
A few days ago, I climbed up Westside Hill, alone. I visited to give a proper farewell to Eric, he deserved that much and I felt relief after. It was a wonderful feeling.
I had to let him go so I can only remember the good times.
How fares the attack?
Beth, your wife.

'Wife,
Be careful, else I might have to remand Jem. How dare he?
