Dear Lester,
A handful of chickens, a cow, and three goats. There's some ducks in the pond, but they don't belong to my family. We slaughter the cow every winter for meat, which was hard to stomach at first. Such is the life.
I want to go back to school too. Is there anything fun to do in Hogsmeade? Being near a town must keep things lively at least.
Your Friend,
Alice Dawson
