From: Miss Esmeralda Avocet, New Hamshire, July 15, 1867 (Looped)

To: Miss Alma LeFay Peregrine, Cairnholm, Wales, October 5th 1934 (Unlooped)

Dearest Alma, my sweet little girl.

How are you doing? I hope everything is faring well with you, and that there have not arisen any problems with your new house. It sounded oh so lovely in the last letter you sent me! A rustic old building with plenty of room for everyone to live, and a garden that the little ones can play in. Reminde me a lot of Miss Finch loop, if you ask me, but maybe I'm wrong? Anyway, while on subject of the little ones, I do hope they are faring well, too, and behaving accordingly. I know you believe in strict rules to help keep an aura of respect, as do I, but please remember that sometimes children need love and care, too, and you make sure that they get it as well.

Next, I have to ask you if you've written any letter to you sisters yet? Amelia miss you something terrible, you know, and would love to hear from you sometime soon, so if you haven't, please write to her. Your her best friend, and if you don't keep contact with other Ymbrynes I fear you will soon be very lonely! She asked me to include her current address, in case you lost it when moving in, so here it is:

Miss Amelia Gannett

Ireland

6th of June 1920

There you go, dear, and remember to write. Dolores said she would love a letter as well, but unfortunately I don't believe I got her address written down. Miss Bunting might, but she's out of town for the week, ironically enough visiting Amelia. I guess you could always ask Miss Gannett for her cousin's address if you don't have it, or if you want to, I'll ask Miss Bunting and send it in the next letter.

Yours truly, Miss Esmeralda Avocet
