So can I just start calling you dad now?
Dear Veronica,
I hope you're doing well. I can't really say the same for the hotel because as it turns out, murder is bad for business, so it's been a hard week. In addition, one of the maids had to take the last several days off because her sister was the on killed Monday night.
Speaking of the maids, I have just about had it with John! I know that he is still chasing them and trying to distract them from their work. At this point, I wish he'd just go to the brothel and get his urges out that way, as it would be a relief from the complaints of the girls and from his occasional attempt to get under my own skirts.
At any rate, I hope you'll come to visit, or at least I'll see you at tomorrow's wedding. Also, there is a rumor that the murderer was killed last night. Have you heard anything about that?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Eleanor Constantine
