Unknown Date (Elle to New York Ned)

Sweet Neddie,

I found your last letter awfully cryptic. If I've anything of Conrad's I'll be happy to return it when he gets home - which your sister claims will be soon - no need for sworn statements and other drastics.

Anyway, we all miss you terribly here in Old Wilkshire. The Bog is pretty this time of year hunkering down to face the winter. Is it really three years ago we used to go walking there so often? I think about that from time to time.

Say hi to Con for me.

Elle
