Elsie,
You are right of course; it couldn't be Mary. If you think of someone you know who has gotten a wand in London recently please let me know, perhaps together we can figure out who it is. Do you think he sent other letters to other girls?
I felt a small measure of obligation to respond at first but I certainly won't now. Even as strange as it was it felt rude not to but now that I know he is sending multiple letters I'm sure the burden of propriety has been lifted.
Meri
