Letter from Josephine to Pop

Dear Mr. Pop,

I got your letter and it was a very entertaining and informative read. Thank you for sending it to me and I hope this letter finds you and Billy well.

It is Spring here in London and the season is now well advanced. Everything has turned green and the greyness of winter has been quite swept away. It's even more glorious in the parks and I have taken many a lovely walk through them.

It is a stark contrast to the sewers. You do remember how horrid they were when we helped Evie best Lord Cataver. Quite simply hideous. I believe I can still smell the stench of it on my coat and boots. I do not think I will ever be rid of it completely and may require a full replacement for both.

I will be attending a masquerade ball at Earl Dashwood's soon. I think I shall go as a gryphon. It is not an animal one normally associates with balls and I shall have a satisfying time watching everyone's reaction to my costume choice. In case you do not remember what a gryphon is, it is a mythological animal with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and great sweeping wings. Gryphons have caught my fancy ever since I was a little girl and I rather still like them now.

Please let me know how you are getting on and do give Billy my regards. May God Bless you and keep you safe, Mr. Pop, and I hope to hear all about your adventures when you are next back in London.

Sincerely,
J.
