September 28, 1893
Dear Calla,
Wallace woke up. I'm not sure if word will have reached you at school by now, but he's awake. I don't have many details on his condition, as I'm hesitant to intrude when the mood is still so somber. But - he woke up, Calla. They didn't think he was going to survive at all.
I'm not sure if her bed was still there or not - did Sisse or Maddy say as much? I would certainly hope that the school would have. I didn't even consider that her bed might not have been removed at all. I guess I just assumed the room would have magically shrunk or something. Merlin. I'm glad you didn't have to see it, either. That's something I pray you never have to face.
Edison and I haven't been involved at all in some time now. I will always care for him, of course, and I wish him all the best. We just no longer truly had the time for one another anymore, I suppose. We rarely saw one another on Hogsmeade visits last year and I only saw him at the funeral this summer. He's busy with training now too, I'd imagine. All this to say - Edison and I will not be getting married at any point in the near future.
I didn't mean to not tell you. It just never seemed like an appropriate time to bring it up, I'm sorry to have not said it sooner.
Yours,
Alice
