Delysia, upon receipt of Dralt's forwarded message, takes a few days to mull over her response, before eventually coming up with this. Poor Amanda gets the full benefit of her terrible writing:
"Dear Marchioness Pala-Corliss,
The children and I are so thankful for you and your daughter's generosity! Though the orphanage is running along quite well at present, I do have some concerns regarding the upcoming winter. My sources vary from stating winters here to be anywhere from 'mild' to 'cold', so I wish to prepare and have a healthy stock of blankets and winter clothing (cloaks, mittens), just in case. I have no doubt the children would chime in that more toys would never find themselves unwanted.
My gratitude to yourself and your daughter! I do hope you two will feel free to drop by anytime you happen to be in the neighbourhood; the children and I do enjoy visitors.
Sincerely,
Lady Delysia Snowe"
