Melody,
Congratulations my dear friend on this happy addition to your family. I'm sure she is every bit as beautiful as you are. I can't wait to meet her as soon as you are able to receive visitors.

Lots of Love,
Benevolence

Dearest Benevolence,

My sincerest apologies in not extending an invitation to you sooner and thank you for the gifts! One knows how exhausting it is to have a newborn, but you never quite know until having one yourself. You are, of course, welcome here anytime, and Eleanora and I eagerly await you.

Melody
