Dear Henry,
I have arrived safely in London after a calm and peaceful journey. It's quite cold because of winter, I didn't expect to miss the warmth of India once I returned to England but I do. I do miss the warmth. But I also have missed the snow and I'm delighted to see it fall peaceful around me. Snow sticking to the ground. But enough about nice things, because there is nothing nice to tell about London.
I wish I would return to London for something brighter, but we can't choose the way how it's supposed to be, is it not?
London is a mess. The Rooks are not our acquaintances or friends at this point. They are now our enemies. Whitechapel is full of fear. Prostitutes get killed, women who deserve to be respected just like any other. You may wonder why Jacob did let it get this far. The thing is, Jacob is gone. I don't know if he is missing and alive somewhere or dead. The agent told me Jacob disappeared after he did send the letter to me, what was a month ago. I don't know what to think. Jacob would never let London become a mess. Not like this. If he had been drinking I would not be surprised if he would get into some big trouble because he likes some licker. Jacob is a good man. He always wanted to be a part of London and now that he has disappeared… I think something bad happened to him. And that terrifies me. He is my little brother and I will not return home before I have found him. I can't abandon London, but most of all I can't abandon my beloved brother.
I am dedicated to get the killer and end this terror.
I know you will worry about me Henry. But I am alright. When there is any news I'll write to you again.
Love,
Your Evie
