Checking In - Esther Browne - July 4, 2018
4 July
Mr. Ross,
You will pardon me, I hope, if you find this letter surprising or inconvenient; I know you are an exceptionally busy man and must be only moreso during the current crisis, and it is my very least intention to needlessly distract you with trivial matters, particularly given that we are not so very well acquainted as, perhaps, our close relation might allow us to be.
The cause of my writing today is the cause also of that relation. When I last saw Clara a few weeks ago, she seemed a bit out of sorts, and though I am sure it was only a passing mood and no very serious ailment I have worried about her since. I might have written to her, but on the chance that there is something the matter I should not wish to heighten her distress with my own concerns, which has lead me to turn instead to you. Has my sister seemed, to your experienced eye, quite herself of late? The fog is, of course, necessarily distressing to us all, but is she otherwise sound and well?
Mrs. E. Browne

I have not noticed any concerning differences in her mannerisms or routine since the fog moved into Hogsmeade, but I must admit that she has seemed more tense than usually. I have not worried much about it; the entire village has been rightfully concerned about the fog and its effect on their day-to-day living, and I assume Clara feels much the same. Unlike other families, our schedule has been much thrown off by the sudden crisis. It feels like my time at work has doubled, and that, combined with the time it often takes to get between home and work, has seen me spending less time at home—and as such, with her.
As she is your sister, I do not presume to know her much better than you. If you've noticed disconcerting changes in her behavior, I would be much obliged to watch her closer and more carefully to ensure that she's hiding nothing that should be of concern.
Mr. Benjamin Ross

Mr. Ross,
I am much obliged for your response, particularly at this busy juncture. Your letter has given me a great deal of relief, for I am sure if you have noticed nothing strange, it must have been either a passing mood or else my own imagining. Whatever you may say about sisterly bonds, a wife can never be closer to anyone than to her husband.
Sincerely,
Mrs. E. Browne
