My Dearest Sister,
My worry grows daily; today, when I was walking through the square, I saw a message on the bulletin board regarding those who have sinned, and what caught my eye was having a child out of wedlock. I am deeply concerned about this blatant statement so visible for all to see. As you know, Maxine's father is dead these past fifteen years and we had not married - forsooth, 'twould be better if I were a widow rather than what I am now! I still miss him so, and I have not been able to find another to take his place. So few would marry a woman with a child by another man.
I know that you are earnest in your pursuit of the prince to increase our prospects, and I can only urge you to please increase your efforts. I know that you'd never want to see harm come to myself or your niece, and I am deeply troubled about our future should the townspeople take it upon themselves to throw my past at the preacher, despite my current status.
All my love,
Natalia
