Dear Mr. Honeyduke,

I am terribly sorry to hear you have been ill. I do hope that you are feeling much improved. I have heard that a mint tea with a drop of honey is most helpful in such situations, and while that is not easily sent I have sent a small bag of mint tea dried from our garden. I have found that shortbread accompanies it well and as such I have included some as well. I wish there were more than I could do, but I suppose I should find some solace in the fact that my bread brought you comfort. Indeed, I feel I should scold you for even making me this delicious cinnamon roll. Whether you can make them in your sleep or not it. I should hate to think you might have exercerted yourself for my sake, your health is much more important.

Thank you for the very kind invitation, I should very much enjoy that. I shall leave any endeavors of working with coffee until then. However, I must insist it is not until you are feeling much improved, I should be greatly vexed if I were the cause of a relapse of your illness.

You are right in thinking that I am not my sister Daffodil. Indeed, you were close as you have sir stumbled upon my name upon your brainstorming. Since you have been ill I shall take pity on you and not make you guess any further than the end of this letter.

I should think it terribly difficult to live so far away from one's sister. She must miss you terribly as I am sure you miss her as well. I could hardly imagine being seperated from my sisters. There always seems to be one about at home or at the shop.

Most Sincerely,
Miss Dahlia Potts
