Love,
Rosie

PS:
One
of
these
days
I
can
run
a
hotel
and
you
can
be
the

doctor-in-the-house
who
saves
the
lives
of
the
guests
I
poison
in
the
restau-

rant
.
.
.
Oh
this
will
all
work
out
wonderfully
.

Re:
Boston
here
I
come!

This
is
brilliant
news!
I
can’t
wait
to
see
you
too!
Harvard
isn’t
too
far

away
from
BC
(well
in
comparison
to
being
a
whole
ocean
apart—can
you

believe
Harvard
accepted
me?
It
must
be
the
intellects’
idea
of
a
hilarious

joke).
I’m
too
excited
to
type,
just
get
over
here!
When
are
you
coming?

September

I
won’t
be
over
till
September,
just
a
few
days
before
the
semester
starts

because
I
have
got
so
many
things
to
sort
out
you
wouldn’t
believe!
The
debs

are
at
the
end
of
August,
will
you
come
over
for
them?
Everyone
would
love

to
see
you
and
I
need
someone
to
go
with!
We
will
have
so
much
fun
and
we

can
annoy
all
our
teachers.
Just
like
old
times
.
.
.
let
me
know.

Sorry!

Rosie
I
am
so
sorry.
This
whole
day
has
been
an
absolute
nightmare.

There
was
a
foul-up
with
the
flight.
I
don’t
know
what
happened,
but
my

name
wasn’t
in
the
system
when
I
went
to
collect
my
ticket.
I’ve
been
here
all

day
trying
to
get
another
flight.
They’re
all
booked
because
of
people
flying

home
from
holidays
and
students
returning
home
etc.
.
.
.
I’m
on
standby,

but
so
far
there’s
been
nothing.
I’m
just
hanging
around
the
airport
waiting

for
a
flight.
This
is
a
nightmare.
