10 December 1998
Theodore,
Shall I come by tomorrow afternoon, if you are not otherwise engaged? There is nothing to be done immediately to appease my family, but we will be parted soon enough and they may take comfort in this while I take comfort in you.
You may return a response in the positive to the Fawcett's if you wish the most dull of Solstice party goers on your arm.
Yours,
Padma
