April 17th, 1888

Annabelle,

I have been led to believe, despite my prior letters to you regarding this matter, that you have elected to ignore your father and meet with Mr. Crouch again.

I demand the truth before I visit you - and I can assure you it will not be a friendly social call.

Why must you continue to put unnecessary strain on this family, Annabelle? You'd do well to follow the footsteps of your sister for a spree - it would do you some good.

Whilst I have no doubts Mr. Crouch is a well-meaning man, your... adventures with him are not how you are to go about this.

I fear I may have been wrong in my last letter.

Your father,
Mr. A. C. Scrimgeour
