Chapter 67: The Daughter's Manumission, Part 1, Apologies

Dear Davey, Stevie and Dad,

I'm not sure if any of my other letters to you have reached you because I've not heard anything back from you.

I don't really know where to begin except to say that I'm sorry that I left the way I did, and I wish I'd done it some other way. I hope that you're not still too mad at me. If you have had my other letters and you are still angry with me, please forgive me.

And especially, I wanted to apologise that I stole your wallets. I have enclosed a money order for the amount I took. I sent it with the other letters too, but it was never cashed. I hope that makes it right.

I'm doing fine now and I'm earning well. I have my own apartment. It's only a small one that I'm renting, but I'm saving up to buy my own place. If you are in the City at all, you could visit me. Or if you like, I could visit you. I'd love to come and see you.

How are you all? How is Dad these days? Better, I hope? I miss him. I miss all of you.
