Elsie!
Your letter was nearly as shocking as the one from the 'Poet'! It has to be the same person - there is no way two people could conceive to write the same sort of letter and sign it the same way on the same day. I've sent a copy of mine now so you can compare for yourself.
At least yours has your name on it! At first I thought mine might have been sent to me by mistake but how many lady wandmakers could there be nearby? Yours is also much more poetic and romantic. If you knew the person it might pass as a proper letter of affection... I think.
Still, it must be a joke. Do you think it could be Maryanne? It doesn't seem like her but no one else is coming to mind.
