Tunia- don’t burn this letter.
please.
You can make fun of my hand writing if you want? They use quills here, it’s odd and I don’t think they have ever even seen a ball point. I’m going to ask mum to mail me a few and perhaps a couple pencils?
I miss you sis. The other day the girls in my room were all talking about their siblings and it made me miss home and even you. Remember that time where we both had our dolls bungee jump from the second floor? We could do that here, only we’d have to get longer strings, the towers are that big.
I know you don’t like him- but Sev says hi too. He’s really the only boy here who isn’t a stupid-head. There is this one? I can’t stand him and we’re in the same house! I really wanted to be in Sylterine with Sev but I’m not. Apparently? His room is underground. Like moles or something. I kind of really want to see it.
I really hope you write back, how are your classes going? Were you able to buy those shoes you were saving up for before I left? What colour are they?
Love forever,
your little sis,
Lily.

Mum!
A quick note to say that I got the cookies and all the girls loved them! You should have seen Emmeline’s face when I told her that you made them by hand. She still doesn’t believe in light switches you know. Anyway, I’ll be coming home for a bit of a Spring Break, is it okay if I bring Em with me?
Love and all that-
Lils
