Flora,

I do understand the need to write home, and if I need to borrow a school owl, I will. Besides, if you get an owl, I will simply ask you.

I absolutely agree, girls like Agnes need extensive etiquette tutoring. Could you imagine the shame her mother must feel, having found out her daughter was kissing a girl? It made my mother gossip with her friends for an entire hour. I must ask you though, dear Flora, since we are starting school in September, which House do you think you will be Sorted into? I am hoping for Ravenclaw, as I have a great love of books. I imagine you'd be in Gryffindor, as brave as you are!

Sincerely yours,
