Dear Elsie,
I think you will forgive me for jumping right to the point but I just receive the strangest letter and I had to tell you about it immediately! It was addressed to "Ms. Wandmaker" and signed by "Love Sick Poet" and the middle is written completely in rhyme. It says I fit him for a wand and now he's 'falling in love with my face and my mind'.
What should I do? The letter requests a response but surely if he was of a good sort with proper interest he'd make a proper introduction, right? Or maybe he is shy. I don't know if I should be flattered but it just feels very strange and even if I did decide to write back what in the world would I say? You can read the full of it next time you are over for tea but in the mean time - owl help!
Your dear friend,
Meri
