Dear Ma and Pa,
If you’ve found this letter, then I am gone. Aboard the same boat carrying Travis and Sophia across the ocean to Britechester. I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye - I knew that you would stop me. I don’t want to marry Joaquin, and you can tell him that.
If you need to contact me, send the message to Travis. He’ll know where to find me.

I married Emilia. What else was I supposed to do? Poor thing, she’s miserable and there’s no way that Howard could care for her and the child, as he already has his family.
The wedding was entirely paid for by Howard - which, considering the circumstances, seems the least he could do. Emilia complained that her fashionable gown was ruined by her changing figure, and that she felt ill all day long. I hope she isn’t so fussy once the child is born.
Travis Jr has married Edna’s best friend, Sophia. It was quite a sudden thing - I’ve never know Travis to show interest in anything but his art. It seems as if there’s been a change in him - he asked Miss Jordan to marry him, and seemed eager to be wed. Edna is just as happy, and insisted on helping with every bit of the planning. I expect she’s excited for her own upcoming wedding. Though Travis and Sophia won’t be able to attend that ceremony - my son is taking his art supplies and his bride to live across the ocean in Britechester, where he will hone his craft and start his family.
We’re so glad to have Calvin back home - every day seems brighter with the whole family together again. He’s still weak, but it helps him to sit in the garden and breathe the fresh air. Travis has bought him an easel of his own. He teaches him how to paint, when Calvin feels well enough. It seems we may have two artists in the family.

I’ve left Brindleton Bay behind - I’m a man of the city now! Uncle Howard has set me up with a fantastic apartment not far from his home. It has a view of the park, and a perfect spot for my easel. I’m sure I will be a renowned artist in no time!
Amid our shock and confusion after Edna’s sudden departure, we nearly forgot to celebrate little Glenn’s birthday. He’s not so little anymore - he’s nearly as tall as I am! He’s doesn’t have the wits of Robinette or the artistic eye of Travis Jr and Calvin, but he’s a kind boy and interested in my work.
Robinette is growing too - in fact, he’ll be off to live on his own soon. He’ll be attending Brindleton University. He would have liked to go further for his schooling, but Eliza is still so distraught about Edna that he’s decided to stay a little closer to home.
Eliza told me something today - something I had already suspected. It surprised me how much it hurt to hear it from her. She was unfaithful to me with my friend, or should I say, former friend, Daniel. What’s more - Calvin was the result of this infidelity. Though I am furious with Eliza, I will not allow myself to take it out on the boy. None of this is his fault, after all. And despite his origins, he will always be my son.
