February 1890

Dear Mrs. Goyle,

Such a trait is rare among adults. But I hope your prayers will be answered, for it should do him well in his youth. How are your other children fairing? I admit that I know almost nothing of your life as it is now. I can only hope you will forgive me this failing as I do sincerely wish to know how you are.

It is true that the administrative positions have a great deal of paperwork. It often makes me long for the days that I responded to the calls rather than only read the reports of them. But alas, those days are over. Whether it is for the better is yet to be seen.

Yes, I believe that hers was a love match. She certainly was happy when Mr. Smith was alive.

Of late father complains of his ailments more often than not. Felicity has remained by his side since his health began to decline several years ago. She even put her own engagement on hold for it. Unfortunately her intended was lost several summers ago. She has bore up well with these circumstances.

How has your family fared? It seems many a year since I have heard news of them.

Sincerely,
Mr. P. Adlard Jr.
