I miss you so much and hope this letter finds you well. I hope Father and Mother are also doing well and I miss them, too. Please let me know the state of Father’s health—My husband is to be sending medicine—Let me know that it has not been lost. I’ve enclosed 50 kanar. Please let me know if you’re received the money! You have barely answered any of my letters!
I am doing well. The city continues to be even more magnificent than the stories. Since I last wrote, I have gone to an opera matinee with the Dr. I didn’t understand a single word—you would laugh—but I was so moved I cried at the end. I should not have cried like that, cried in front of him and everybody, but I could not help myself. Some things transcend language.
I still spend my days out. The shops are as delightful as ever. The doctor continues to give me money and buy me more and more clothes. Yes, besides the beautiful red jacket I now have silk stockings and a new dress to wear every day and evening. I am like a princess.
Sister, I miss you. I know I have said you must watch your sharp tongue and wash your face twice a day with cold water to be as beautiful as possible to make a marriage as good as mine, but I feel it is more important for you to be happy. Hold onto your happiness. Jean—I know how foolish you find me---How little you think of me—But if you are ever lost and need advice I am here. I am your Big Sister.
Little sister, I love and miss you. Kiss Father and Mother for me.
