A/N: The idea for this story came from another story I'm writing called The Courtship of Queen Elsa. I had the idea that Elsa might have written letters to Anna during the thirteen years they were apart. This is one of those letters.

Dearest Anna,
Papa tells me that you've just turned six. How grown up you're becoming. I'm sorry I couldn't be there and I hope cook made your favorite chocolate cake, the one with the raspberry filling.
It's been hard this last year, being away from you, but papa says I'm doing better controlling my powers. I know you don't remember I have powers, but that is all right since I can't give you this letter right now anyways. I know he is just being kind, but I am forever hopeful that I can control them soon. I miss you so Anna. I miss playing with you and reading to you. I miss how you use to make me laugh. I don't feel like I have much to laugh about anymore.
I'm going to stop right there though because this is a happy day. Mama tells me that you are doing much better with your reading. She says you seem almost determined to learn now and when she asked you why you said, I want to be able to read the big girl book that Elsa use to read to me. I wish I could still read to you baby sister. I want that so much.
My studies are going well. They are boring most of the time, except for math and literature. I hate history, but my tutor says I have to know all about it as well as economics, diplomacy, and etiquette. Ugh, I swear though if Mr. Nathan speaks of my duty one more time! Of course I know that I have to learn these things to become queen, but that's not going to happen for years and years!
I miss having lessons with you. I remember when you put that frog in Mr. Nathan's satchel. He screamed like a girl! It was so funny! I don't think I ever laughed that hard. I hope Miss Rosenblum is better to you than Mr. Nathan was. I use to hate how he treated you sometimes, like you weren't as important because you weren't the heir. That was stupid. You are so important Anna. Never, ever forget that please.
Well I'm starting to see double and my candle is dying, plus I think I might have frozen my quill. I want to wish you a happy birthday baby sister, and I hope someday soon I will finally have control of my powers and I can see you again. Until then, continue to grow up strong, laugh and have fun for both of us, and never, ever lose your light. I love you.
Forever Your Loving Big Sister,
Elsa
