Rosie,

There is much I would say to you were we in person, as this is a letter, I shall attempt to keep things brief.

I have received accounts of your being seen with a young man, you know to which young man I refer, and I urge you to cease all activities with him. I have left Arden as my eyes and ears—you must understand that these faculties report to others outside of me. I cannot always protect you from yourself. You yourself must remain vigilant. Do not stray from your assigned task. I will make rounds in July. I look forward to seeing you during my visit. Please, for your own sake and the sake of this boy, behave until then.

I trust, outside of these reports, that you are working as you should. My accounts seem to be satisfied as of late—I am pleased.

Yours truly,
