Dear Uncle Cygnus,

I must admit, I am surprised to receive your letter. While you may not have ever shown any ill will towards me, I didn’t expect to hear from you, especially as Mother has been particularly fond of burning individuals off the tapestry that have anything to do with me. Yes, I heard about what she did to poor Uncle Alphard after his death, all because he’d likely forgotten to change his will. Honestly, it wasn’t as if the money he left me was much of anything. Enough for me to survive on though, which was all I needed.

I can only hope that I will accomplish something great in the future. I have not always been the best at planning what is to come. You’re probably familiar with the fact that I fly by the seat of my pants.

I appreciate your kind words, and I do hope your family isn’t driving you mad. As much as I don’t look forward to graduation, I have to admit that freedom sounds incredible to me.
