Dear Auntie Juliana,
I wore it to care of magical creatures class yesterday and the Professor said it looked very well! they knew it was a Chimera immediately and have given me a book from their collection to read all about them. It's an awfully thick book and will take me at least 3 weeks to read I would guess, but they look so intersting and I can't wait know all about them. The book is enchanted and the pictures move when you turn the pages! I've not seen an animal book like it, not even in Uncle Zachariah's shop.
We don't have to do embroidery in etiquette, we have a choice between than and pencil drawing so I always do that. Sketching flowers is a lot more fun than sewing them, because then I can pretend I'm like Janet Russell Perkins, drawing tropical flowers in Africa! I might use that one day, but I won't use embroidery - and I'm not very good I keep stabbing my fingers.
With my love
Emma.
