bored out of my wits end

gertrude,

As I am certain you already know, I have been stuck within Hogsmeade due to the plague that have been wandering about. There are so many people ill and Hospital had been a mad house. I’ve found it hard to sit down and actually relax when all of this is going on. It is stressful..

I’ve seen a lot of familiar faces running coming to and leaving, including Alianor. Her condition was horrible. I feared the worse for her and.. I feared going into the room. Perhaps the image of her dead within her bed was not an image that I wished to see.

How are you? Have you been able to avoid the plague?

sincerely,
thompson

THANKS NADDA!!

Thompson,

It's so sad to hear that you're stuck in Hogsmeade. I was hoping that you had left for some reason like Anne. However I'm not surprised, not all of us have the luxury of a second house, but I could hope.

The hospital must be so busy, at least you're there and capable of helping out. I would hate to miss any of my internship due to the plague. At least now the hospital will be aware of your capabilities! Thankfully I have managed to avoid the plague, although I am forever terrified I'll infect my family but they seem to be fine too. The ministry is crazy at the moment, so many people are away because they are ill or they're stuck in Hogsmeade. Even Urquart is in Hogsmeade! Although I'm pleased, at least he's not being a coward.

Also, I'm so sorry to hear about Alianor. I do hope she recovers, which I'm sure she will. When this quarantine is removed, we must all meet up.

Yours,
Gertrude

gertrude,

Me leave? No, that isn't possible for me. I have to care for the ill and dying. I do believe that it is part of my job descriptions, as much as I don't want to admit it.

The hospital is very busy at the moment will a lot of will people. Its frightening at times. I have one lady hug me and refuse to let me go, claiming that I was her son - who just happened to be dead for over three years. I think she is very close to death..

She seems to be doing better but I still fear for her. Alianor was very weak when I last saw her.

Yes, we shall meet up. We must..

sincerely,
thompson
