Dear Mr. Crawford,
I trust that this letter finds yourself and Bella in good health. I apologize for not contacting you sooner after my husband's death but this has been a trying and busy time for all of the estate and matters only now allow me the leisure of writing to you to inform you of my plans for the immediate future. I intend to travel to England in November and would be extremely grateful of some hospitality at Lowingham while I find my own property in the area. I expect to come to Derbyshire the second Friday in November, at which time we will review the business arrangements that stood between yourself and my late husband at the time of his death. I trust you will not find this presumptuous of me, but my husband entrusted this matter solely to me and I intend to do his faith in me justice.
Please extend my greetings
to Mrs. Crawford.
Yours,
Mrs. Clarice Starling
