To my dear and sweetest Astoria,

I write to you with a burdened heart. We miss you so very much. He keeps asking when you'll get home but I don't have the heart to tell him. He's doing wonderful in his schooling and he's taken a liking to Arithmancy just like you did when we were in school. His eyes are piercing green like yours, a welcome change from grays and blues; his hair is just as fair as yours, it's about time from him to get a trim. He has your nose. He's a quiet boy, but has your contagious smile.

The house is very quiet and lonely when you're not here. I've been working on my piano skills just to keep myself preoccupied. I am getting much better. It's only been a week but it feels like you've been gone for months.

I hope you are having a wonderful time and everything is to your utmost liking.

All my heart and love to you,

Your loving Husband
