Melody Crouch

Dear Melody,
I write, exhausted and sore, but to tell you that Roman and I this afternoon welcomed a baby boy. He is healthy and well, as am I. He is looking forward to meeting you and Nora before too long. We are intending to name him Cereus Rowan Crouch.

I hope you are both well.

With tired affection
Benevolence.

Dearest Benevolence,

Oh, what wonderful news! Congratulations, my friend. I'm so happy for both you and Roman. Please, let me know when you're up for visitors, as Nora would love to meet her cousin and I my new nephew.

You need only write if you need anything.

Your Friend,
Melody
