My dearest friend, the future Mrs. Grimstone,

You cannot imagine the shriek of excitement I gave when I read the notices in the paper. Of course I had no doubt this day would soon come. Even so, I am so very thrilled for you. It is so very thrilling to wed the man you love and I am so happy that you get to feel that joy. Of course, I am here for any help you might need though I am sure your sisters have you covered several times over.

All my love,
Hope

Dearest Hope,

You beat me to writing to you! I was sitting in the bliss for a day apparently. I just sitting down to pen a few letters to my sisters today!

Thank you, I'm very excited. It's a strange feeling, but in a good way? I'm sure you know what I mean. It's been too long since we've been able to get together, we should have tea soon! How is the family? I can't believe you have a toddler now. I know you must be kept incredibly busy, but I would love to see you. Please let me know when a good time to stop by would be!

Love,
Daffy

My dearest Daffy,

I shall be available for calls any time this or next week! I would love a chance to have tea. Perhaps I might even drop by the florist shop like I often did during my debutante days.

The family is doing quite well. I still cannot get enough of hearing Oxalis calling for Mama or Dada. He is such an intelligent young thing but I suppose that is what every doting mother says about their children. Do let me know a time when you might come by so that I might have things ready for your arrival.

All my love,
Hope

Dearest Hope,

I can manage either, truly! It would be lovely to see you either way. Your house might be more comfortable for a true visit, but you are more than welcome to visit the shop if you would like to get out of the house. I would love to see little Oxalis too, it's been far too long. I will leave the decision up to you, just give me a time that works best!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Love,
Daffy

My dearest Daffy,

Then in my home it shall be! How does the weekend after this one work for you?

All my love,
Hope

Dearest Hope,

Everything seems to have accelerated in time, I've been busy! However, I believe I have some free time on that Sunday afternoon, before dinner with my parents. I will be over after lunch, does that work?

Looking forward to it!

Love,
Daffy
