From: Miss Amelia Gannett, Ireland, 6th of June, 1920 (Looped)

To: Miss Alma LeFay Peregrine, Cairnholm, Wales, December 18th, 1934 (Unlooped)

Alma! How wonderful to finally hear from you! I take it this means that Miss Avocet gave you my adress as I asked her to, in her latest letter to you? I must apolegise something terrible for the delay in my response, but I've been trying to organise a staying for three new charges that's been placed within my care, and as you can surely guess it's been a hindrace in my attempts to get some time alone to sit down and write these letters. Yes, I owe both Dolores and Miss Avocet a long overdue letter at this point, but I saw your as more important.

Anyhow, Happy Christmas Miss Peregrine! By the time this letter reches you it will surely be the 24th of December at the very least, so I think it's rather approperiate, as is the thing I've gifted you with for Christmas (if you haven't already looked at the blue package included with this letter, please do, as long as it's the 24th or later). I sincerely hope you will find it as good as I do.

In the letter you sent me, you asked if I had Dolores adress, which I of course do. I need to be able to send letters to my own cousin! Anyway, since you seem have lost it, too, here it is:

Miss Dolores Woodpecker

Scotland

8th of May 1919

(Looped)

The adress I wrote above should work just fine if you wish to reach out and write a letter to Dolores, which she would surely love to recieve, but please be paitant with her, will you? Dolores got so many small little ones running around her house, and she's set to reseve two more after New Year, so there is even less time for her to write letters and do things for her own enjoyment than there is for us others. I'm just thanking the birds I don't have children aged two to five running around here, I wouldn't be able to take that….Not that teenagers are easy, at any rate, but they're more self-relient, so I don't have to keep them within my line of sight every second of every day, and I can actually teach them valuable knowledge.

Anyway this letter have grown very long, and I must been going now, I'm afraid. I'll look forward to hear your response, and what you thought of my little gift. Also, please don't forget to send a letter over to Dolores now that you got her adress, will you? I know she will appriciate it.

With all the Happy Christmas wishes, Amelia Gannett
