My goodness! You have been so busy! I am sorry to hear that you aren't sleeping well. That must be awful. At least you are making the most of your time. You've been allowed to slowly accept the end, which I was not, so please enjoy it for me.

I will very much need you at Poppy's debut. She will be the center of attention which means I will want to be across the room in the corner. Firewhiskey does sound like a good remedy for the nerves, we should keep that in mind. As you said, if I make a big enough fool out of myself, the spinster aunt route is a solid back up plan. I also quite like your idea of fleeing, I bet between us we would do well!

I am well enough, wishing my time here as a Rose over, but not exactly looking forward to what comes next either. I am quite ready to be come with needlework and letter writing and all of that frivolous nonsense. I miss useful things like charms and transfiguration. Speaking of, this publication, that is so exciting! I cannot wait to read it. I'm surprised my cousin did not tell me himself, but I am so very proud of you. I'm sure it is most excellent. I have tucked it away for some late night reading where no one can take it from me.

There's only a few weeks left, I will plan on seeing you at Poppy's debut, we'll have so much to catch up then. Let me know if you need anything for your exams, I would be most willing to help in any way I can!
