Miss S. Bixby,
I’m very glad you aren’t dead. It was sad that you had died so young, when you were so nice and all. I suppose I know the feeling – of being missing. Living a different life. Not many people understand it, that that time was real too, just because I was a hedgehog. Just because you were not you.
But you have also lost out on things, and time, too, that you can’t get back. I hope you find nice things to do with the time you have now.
I am working in a house in London, for Mrs. Diana Selwyn. Perhaps one day we will meet again. Please let me know if you see any odd cats about.
Yours sincerely,
A. Davis

P.S. I have sent some biscuits from the cook for you. Ghosts don’t eat, so if you eat them in front of people this might help them adjust to you being alive.

Formerly known as Davis, Elijah Urquart's pet hedgehog.
