And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for the things I've done
that you blame me for

March 21st, 1890 — Letter

Dear Magdalena,
I know I have no right to write to you, not after all of this time but I cannot live with this decision any longer.  I need my sister in my life, and although our parents may not approve I would risk their ire to be able to talk to my sister once again.  I am only ashamed that it has taken me this long to find the courage to write this letter and try to make amends . 

I will understand if you choose not to reply, it would be the least my cowardice deserves.  Know that there will never be a time when I do not welcome a letter from you. 

With all my love and my sincerest apologies

Your sister
Madeleine

Maddie,

I'm sure you are surprised with how surprised I was to receive your letter. Though, despite my surprise, I also feel a little refreshed to have heard from you. Father seems to be the only one to still be holding out on speaking to me.

As you know, Cane was here through the summer of the fog at mother's request. I've exchanged a few letters with her since otherwise I've heard little from family. I do hope you've been doing well. Feel free to stop by the bakery at any time. I'm sure we have plenty of catching up to do.

Sincerely,
Maggie

Dear Maggie,
Thank you for writing back, if it suits I'll be along tomorrow afternoon?

Love

Maddie,

Tomorrow should be fine.

Mid morning is usually best, right after everyone has gotten their morning coffee and biscuits for work.

Sincerely,
Maggie
