21st February, 1891

Dearest Verity,

Our brother and I have recently had a disagreement on how to appropriately furnish me with appropriate items, clothing or otherwise, and so I am allowing him the opportunity to mellow before mentioning anything that might possibly require him to spend his time or money on me.

Also, I am quite certain I have something suitable to wear already; no need to reinvent the wheel for what is to be Grace's night!
