Dearest Millie,

How are classes going? I know this time of year seems such a rush at school but I hope you have been getting the chance to get outside and enjoy the warm weather we have been having. Are you taking well enough care of yourself?

Mama has been planning her flower show again this year. This year her plans are even more ambitious than they were last year. She talked father into helping us arrange a swamp area in Padmore Park! Granted, I suppose I should not be surprised seeing how much father does love his aquatic plants.

In other news, you had asked at Christmas if Mr. Honeyduke will marry me. I am sorry, my dear, for scolding you. I love Mr. Honeyduke and never wish to scare him away. But it seems you were more wise in these matters than I was. Last night Mr. Honeyduke proposed to me and I accepted. I suspect I shall be happily married before you become a fourth year.

May all be well with you.

All my love,
Dahlia

P.S. I hope you enjoy the cookies. I remember them being a favorite of yours.

Attached to the letter is a tin of cookies and an assortment of treats from Mr. Honeyduke's.
