159 Dear Cordelia

'Dear Cordelia,'

I send this letter to you through my esteemed new relatives, hoping it will find you in good health and enjoying the best of your recent marriage to my father-in-law. May the Good Father bless us all!

My dear Princess, Fate, this capricious thing, juggled wildly with our lives! It wanted our fateful meeting to bring about dramatic changes in our lives!

  Only time will tell what these changes have in store for us.

I was let downhearted in the days before my own wedding, because you, dear Cordelia, were sick and shaken by all the events we went through. And our friendship, which was so promising, was shaken too, certainly by false rumors or odd misunderstandings.

  At that time, I understood that you wanted to get away from me, and also hurt myself, I let that happen. I regret it greatly.
