Introducing Mrs. Collins

My dearest friend,

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I were with you.

I can hardly believe how quickly he was taken – what a cruel fate for him, and for you.

How fortunate for him to have had you with him.

He loved you, Charlotte, and you brought him great happiness.

I only wish you could find the same happiness. I pray you do not give up on it.

You will have heard that we have a daughter, Sofia. She is wonderful. I want to tell you about her, but only when you are ready. I think of you daily.

Your loving friend,

Eliza
