Bless. You. I will dive right into these books tonight! I've never been so excited to do research in my entire life. Was there anything you wanted me to look for specifically or just take down some general notes for you to peruse? I cannot wait to have something meaningful to do with my time.

Tenacity is one way to put it. I've been rather foolish really. Just don't be like me Tuni, I'm a terrible influence, I've made so many wonderfully foolish choices that could actually ruin me. Even if Mr. Bixby does hold it against you a little (which would be silly!) you should be grateful he didn't go. Just wait, when Mr. Tilcott comes back I highly suspect Mr. Bixby will be glad he didn't go. I would rather feel guilty about keeping Edric here instead of making myself ill over worrying about him. I know he's capable, but I just have the worst feeling that the situation in Irvingly is worse than we think. I have no reason to say that and no idea why I feel that way, but I just do.

I'll get back to you with notes as soon as possible!
