I do hope you and your husband are doing well. And golly, what do you think about that Holliday Dine In at Mrs. Daphnel's? I shudder to think about the state that poor girl was put in. I've heard she always kept to herself.

I wanted you to hear my news before it likely reaches society's ears. You'll likely remember a certain Mr. William Abbott? I know you remember him from Hogwarts, for we both can be certain I had a certain fondness as a schoolgirl. I never imagined it would be something that re-ignited now, but he went to Papa the other day and asked to court me! Oh, I hope you're as happy as I am, I could practically burst!

If it suits you, might you come to tea the week-end after next? I would so love to recount the details to you, for there are so many to unfold!
