Dear Hattie,

In the spirit of honest correspondence, I should admit that Martha already rearranged your baking supplies. Not to worry, we can put it all back when you return.

What else is new? It’s Waldron, so, not much.

I am proud to report that all the herbs in your garden remain alive.

The logistics for Illian’s wedding are coming together nicely.

There are ducklings, cygnets, and goslings all over town—I’m sorry you’re missing the mass hatching, I know you love watching them waddle.

No significant gossip, although I did overhear Richold and Kara laughing rather flirtatiously together at the market the other day.

Martha and Vera are still convinced there’s nothing between them, but I sensed something.

Perhaps your romanticism has rubbed off on me.

I suspect Idris’s influence has had an effect on my belief in love, too.

Speaking of love, I haven’t seen your crush in days. I know he’s handsome, but why a social butterfly such as yourself would pine after such a recluse, I’ll never understand. Do opposites ever really attract?

Anyway, I miss you sorely—sass and all. Are your fellow classmates impressed by your considerable wit yet?

Love and hugs,

Anya

P.S. Send me the recipe for your blackberry drinking vinegar, would you? Vera has been requesting it and I can’t find any in the pantry.
