Letter of Hope

Our family just received a letter from our Uncle and Aunt in London [the Gardiners'].They have sent it informing us that they have found Lydia and Mr. Wickham!! I am sorry that I am posting this at such an early hour, but I thought that you, my blogger friends, should know about the good news.

Lydia and Wickham are not married, as yet, and Mr. Gardiner believes that there may have been no intention of them marrying, but is sure they will be soon. Our Uncle has so generously given more money for the engagement, and our family is in debt to his doings. We are so very happy that they shall be married soon, and are eagerly awaiting more news.

Father is now composing a letter to Mr. Gardiner for finding Lydia and Mr. Wickham’s whereabouts, and for delivering us such wonderful news. We all cannot wait to see our darling sister, Lydia.

I promise I shall write soon, when there is more news.
