Miss Vanessa Ives,

If this letter finds you well, I would like to continue our correspondence on the subject of your friend, Miss Murray. In the time since her visit, I have contemplated the finer details of our conversation, her and I. Upon reception, everything seemed appropriate, lest I would have contacted you sooner. Miss Murray proved to be in good health, you will be relieved to know.

While initially in high spirits, Mina became gradually distressed over mention of some things that she remembers, as well as those she does not. She was not hysterical, you understand, but did seem somber and confused over the funeral dream she had. In addition to this, she spoke awareness of a dark, foreign man. She voiced no knowledge of him save for the simple knowledge that he exists. Not his name or the true manner of their relationship.

This would be of minor concern, save for the fact that she spoke with fond reminiscence about many other details of her life and youth. She spoke of you and her brother, small memories of childhood whimsy that remain intact despite complete amnesia surrounding the more recent details we have an interest in. This memory loss could be the work of the creature, do you think? Is it possible that if he once captured her soul, he also held reign of her mind? And does that control remain, even now that she lives?

Your devoted friend,
Victor Frankenstein
