Dearest Sherah,How have you been adjusting to this most recent school year? Your last one, yes? Mother and father must be very proud. Have your studies been good? I do hope that you have taken them very seriously. Your grades may yet determine your future.

I know that not speaking with the Ruskin girls in regards to my courtship might have brought on some stress. I apologize. But I am very grateful that you have honored my wishes and waited to speak with them on the matter.

Your Loving Sister,
Naomi
