Dear Fina,

Although I expected no less than for you to be home now I am all the same relieved to hear it. My poor woman you are strength itself for enduring such treatment. That is the end of it I assume? They are not so mad that they would think to importune you any further?

I do wish you would let me see you sooner but I suppose I shall be patient and wait. I shall certainly be attending the funeral, make no mistake of that.

In the meantime if there is anything you need do not hesitate to ask.

Until then,
