AN:
I am including some correspondence between characters. All the letters are written in italics in AoWP format. For those of you who couldn't tell last chapter, but plain italics is a character's thoughts, and in following chapters, bold (except for the author's note and disclaimer) will be taken directly from canon.

I don't own any of the Anne of Green Gables books, just in case you didn't realize I'm not dead.
Walter searched for a pencil and paper. He felt that it would be easiest to write to Una, than Mother. After that he would write the twins. Finally, if he had the time, he would write to Rilla and Dad. He felt that Una would be the easiest to write to. He could tell her anything, sort of like Rilla and Di. He had two reasons to write Una. One, it would be easier to write to someone other than family, and two, he knew that Rilla and Di were hurt by his "death", but somehow, he felt that Una had been hurt more. He didn't know why, it just felt that she would be very happy to receive a letter telling her he was okay.
He didn't know how to begin; how do you start a letter to one of your best friends from childhood after you "died"? He decided to just take the plunge.
"Dear Una,
"I understand there was some sort of misinformation at Ingleside and the manse. I hope that everything will be better once everyone knows that I am okay. I will spare you the details of the fight, for it was worse than you could ever imagine.
"I came out unscathed. My identification fell off, and it landed on one of the other men in my battalion, causing them to believe I was dead, until they went to each of the bunkers to figure out what numbers they had left.
"When they came to my bunker, they were surprised at the fact that I was there. By then, they had sent the first telegram. As soon as they could, they sent a second one. But there were a few days, where they had no access to any contact. If this letter arrives before the 2nd telegram, please let everyone know as soon as possible.
"Your friend,
"Walter Blythe
That should do it, he thought. Now to write the other letters, post this one, and wait for a response.
