Dearest Ellory,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel. It is good to know that you are able to see through the lies of Witch Weekly. For the last week I have been so frightened of what people have been saying. Unfortunately I do not think others are so quick to realise the fact that Witch Weekly only produces bilge.
I can only apologise for my late reply. I must admit I have not been checking my letters.
I would appreciate seeing you soon. I have not been out all week, and I do not think that is helping matters. Your support is very appreciated.
Your friend,
Begonia
