Frannie,
I was very happy to find your letter waiting at home. Sorry for the slow reply. To be very honest, I’ve had to take some time to think about just what I wanted to write to you.
I suppose I foolishly hoped that you and I would find a way to stay together despite the fact that we are on separate continents. It is true that I love you, but it is also true that I wish for you to find happiness, even if it doesn’t involve me. I know that I have said it is mad to date a straight woman, but who’s to say that it won’t work out for you? So, with that in mind, I am writing to wish you every happiness.
And it sounds like your family is pleased to have you back, really. Don’t you know all older sisters are bossy? It is the nature of families, I think, that we older siblings “guide” our you
