To My Uncle Richard

[Gilbert Prinston]

April 13, 1886

Dear Uncle Richard,

I hope you and the family are doing well. I have some exciting news for you. Elise is finally able to go to Hogwarts. She is going in September of this year, and she is very excited. She can't wait to start using magic and making potions. She said that her dream is to run an apothecary one day. I hope she works hard and accomplishes that dream. It is a very good dream. Be sure to wish her good luck.

I have some more good news for you, Uncle. I got a new job! Isn't that wonderful, Uncle. When Gran fell ill, I felt totally useless. I tried to do the best I could to help her get better, but it wasn't enough. Then, when Gran died, the sadness was unbearable. I could help thinking that there was more that I could of done. I didn't want anyone else to feel like that ever again. I decided that I wanted to help people, so I am training to be a Mediwizard. It is a good job. It doesn't pay much, but it is a good way to help people. I hope that you will wish me luck too, Uncle. Well, I have to go now. Give my love to Aunt Gloria, Richie, and Dianna for me. I love you, and I miss you all.

Your loving nephew,
 Gil
