I am enclosing the 4th chapter of my story. Well, I must go now, Wendy dear. So cheerio. With lots of love to yourself and the Ites.—“LADY OF MYSTERY,” Hunterville. No, dear, I knew you would not forget us, and I am ever so pleased to have your welcome letter and further instalment of your story. The weather has been dreadful indeed. Winter has certainly arrived at last, hasn’t it? — Wendy.
