My dear sisters,

Thank you for the lovely letters. Please continue, I quite believe you, although I am quite confused about much of this, it conflicts with much of what's been told to me earlier. Oh, well, it is more than possible that I have been lied to by someone very practiced at doing so. Continue, and I'm sure things will clear up for me. Also, don't let the grand duke or your mother bully you into leaving the country. You haven't done anything worthy of exile. I have spoken to the duke, and he has told me that your mother wants to leave. He said nothing about you two. So make your own choice, but by all means, if you would like to stay, stay.

Your sister,

Ella
