Dear Greg,
I miss you so much. I hope you are alright. I didn't think the people would respond that way. Perhaps there is an easier approach? However, I'll refrain from making any more suggestions. They didn't hurt you did they?
I don't get along well with my step family. My step mother was focused more on her own daughters, which I'm sure makes sense. It's hard for me to describe. I'm very glad that I'm away from them now.
I haven't found the secret passageway and I went exactly where you told me! At least, i think you were telling me a specific location, weren't you?
I am healthy but I am not happy. A lot has happened in these past weeks that I want to tell you about but my hands are tired. I would much rather tell you all of this in person.
Please hurry home. It's been a month since you left. My life has been so scrambled that nothing is constant except for a feeling of loneliness. I wish you were here with me.
With love,
Katie-Beth.
P.S. I'm sorry if my letter seemed rushed and sad. I just read through it and realized how pessimistic I sound. I will attempt to be more cheerful in my next letter.
My darling, Katie Beth,
There are tear stains on your last letter. From me. I miss you so much, and there is no need for a more cheerful letter, because I'm coming home. As I was leaving the second village we visited, a man from the first village arrived out of no where and said he wanted to spread the word for me, as a show of gratitude for the way I had handled their struggles. This means that I can come home. I hope that Williams can get this note to the castle quickly because the first thing I want to see is your face. It frustrates me that it takes so long for soldiers to move. Part of me wants to order everyone to move faster, but we're traveling up and over hills and it's very tiring to our horses.
Anyway, I'll be home soon, my darling Katherine Elizabeth.
Smile.
Love,
Greg
