Dear Will,
James started school the other day, and he loves it! His teacher, Miss Hamilton, claims he is her best student and a real gentleman! He has many good friends and few enemies.
I am now both a politician and a clerk at the general store. Between my job and David and Jessica's support, we are doing quite well. Sarah and Bethany both still live with us, and love babysitting James. They send their regards.
James says he thinks he'll like you and hopes you'll like him. (I know you will.) He made you a birthday present with no help whatsoever, and it's wonderful. He is saving it for your arrival.
As always, I dream of you and long for your company and touch. I suppose we'll do fine and I can wait for 4 more years.
Your loving family,
Elizabeth &
James
