Prologue
~Set 3 Weeks after Claire's Funeral~
Meg walked into the kitchen holding a bundle of mail in her hand.
"The post's arrived girls"
The sentence brought the girls from all over the homestead along with Terry and Alex, who had just got back from the rodeo and was not sure that he wanted to move out, not wanting to relinquish his hold on Claire and Charlotte.
"Bill, bill, summons for Stevie, bill, Jodie one for you from the fire brigade, oh God..." Meg paused while faced with a letter in a large manila envelope. "Its from a solicitor in the city, addressed to 'the Mob' at Drover's Run."
~LETTER ONE-THE SOLICITOR~
Dear All,
I am writing to you concerning the death of Claire McLeod. First, may I express my sincere condolences to you all.
Ms McLeod came to me soon after the death of her father and requested that I write a Last Will and Testament in the case of her untimely death as I also handled the Will of her father.
We have met on numerous occasions, the most recent a few months before her death (A/N not sure how long it actually was), when she was in the city on other business and wished me to include her daughter in the above mentioned Last Will and Testament.
Along with the Will, she entrusted to me a set of letters to be distributed after her death, which she was planning to update every birthday. Ms McLeod requested that the letter in the red envelope be read first.
Please contact me soon to arrange a sitting for the reading of Claire McLeod's Last Will and Testament.
Yours Sincerely, John Green.

Terry finished reading the letter and emptied the other envelops out of the larger one. There was one for each of them - Stevie, Tess, Charlotte, Meg, Terry, Alex, Nick, Jodi, Becky, even Peter (there was a post-its on the last two asking for them to be forwarded).
There was a period of silence as they all considered what was in front of them-one last link to Claire.
"Ok, we should all really read them at the same time, how about we get dinner ready and get Nick over here." Terry didn't want to put off the opening of his letter anymore than any of the rest of them, but he felt that they owed it to each other to read them separately and simultaneously. Plus they had to feed Bom, and they should all eat as well
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N sorry if I got any facts wrong, I'm a pretty new viewer of McLeod's Daughters.
It's a bit short; i'm not really good at writing big chapters. However, be on the lookout for Chapter One-Tess.
