Amino Acids And Lupus Letter from Mina Harker to Lucy Westenra (unopened)

September 17


My dearest Lucy

It seems an age since I heard from you, or rather since I wrote. I know you will forgive me for all my faults when you have read the news you'll give. Well, I brought my husband back in good condition when we arrived at Exeter a carriage was waiting for us, and in him, despite having a gout attack, Mr. Hawkins took us to his house, where there were rooms for us all settled and comfortable, and had dinner together. After dinner Mr. Hawkins said

Beloved, I drink to your health and prosperity, and that every blessing on you both. I know from nhildren, and I've seen, with love and pride as crecíais. Now I want you to make your home here with me. I did not leave behind me no children or descendants, all are gone, and in my will I instituted universal heir.

I cried, Lucy dear, as Jonathan and the old man shook hands Hawkins. Our evening was a very, very happy.

So here we are, installed in this beautiful old house, and both my bedroom and from the room I can see the great elms near the cathedral, with its strong stems erect against the old yellow stone of the cathedral, and I can hear the crows cawing and chattering up, gossiping on the way to the crows ... and humans. I am very busy, and notI send you their 'love'. Farewell, my dearest Lucy, and all blessings to you.

Your friend, Mina Harker
