Family Letters #4
Halldis,
I hope everything reaches you in one piece. Brynja said I was going a bit overboard with the straw, but I figured too much was better than too little. Your aunt was very kind when I went by to ask about your things. I told her that you might appreciate hearing from someone from that side of the family, but I'm not sure if anything will come of it. I hope that it will.
Anyway, this is all I saw in your old room that I thought you might like to have. I know you always loved your rocks and seashells, and after hearing about that dream of yours, I thought you'd be happy to have your dolls back. There was a jewelry box as well, and several necklaces, bracelets, and a whole pile of earrings, but I kind of doubted that you'd care too much about that. If that's something you'd want, let me know and I'll have it sent to you as well. Sigga said that she would set it aside until I hear from you.
I'm sure you're wondering about the lute. Truthfully, I almost didn't send it. Anka always made it so miserable and stressful for you, and I know how much you hated it back then. But I've heard you play, and you were much better than what she ever gave you credit for. If you don't want it, I'm sure it'll fetch a nice price, but I hope you'll keep it.
Hope you're doing well. Brynja sends her best wishes, she wants to come along for the next visit, if you wouldn’t mind. I think the two of you would get along quite well.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
– Rognar
