Dearest Papa,
Tomorrow is my first day of classes here. The headmistress has been very kind. She says that I shouldn't worry, as I'll fit right in with the other students. So far, I haven't yet met any of them. I haven't travelled far from my room, as I have yet to memorize the map of the school. I miss you, Mama, the little ones, and Willow. I really want to come home. I know that Mama is probably wondering about my room and all, so here goes. I was given a relatively large room that I don't currently have to share. It contains two of everything, beds, dressers, night tables, lamps, desks, book shelves, and chairs. I've added my stuff from home so as to make it better. The room has two large windows to let the sunshine in. I will admit that I do enjoy the way the light caresses my face each morning, reminding me of home and all of you. I wish Willow could have come with me. I can't believe I start classes tomorrow. It seems like I just got here and everything is moving so fast. Please write back soon, as I miss you sooooo much. I am including a rendering of my room for Mama, I thought she would appreciate it.
Love Always,
Lila
