Dearest Diary,
I realize it has been several days since my last post and it is quite probable that you will not hear again for several more. However, I did desire to write this evening as it has been a rather busy absence from your company. The fall lessons at the schoolhouse have commenced at a rapid pace and I find little luxurie for the repairing of Ashford as I had hoped, but there is sure to be time as one settles in.
I was fortunate this afternoon to at last be introduced to my nearest neighbor to the estate and was surprised to find we had already been introduced some years back. And would you believe, dear Diary, that I also today made the acquaintance of my nephew, a rather young Mr. Hunter. Would that I could send his portrait with this letter, yet I am bound by legal parameters which state that I cannot allow such an image to accompany this correspondence. Perhaps someday soon I shall have the good fortune to introduce you to him.
He is of course the happiest of children you will ever meet and his laughter contains an infectious and joyful roar. I am most grateful he has been trusted to the care of my brother and his bride. Our Mr. Hunter seems to be adjusting quite beautifully and I shall hope to see him again on the morrow!
