Clarendon Estate (The Sinclair Society, Book Three) Rough Draft

Epilogue

Miss Nelson,

Thank you for your prompt response. I am pleased to hear that you are recovering from the unfortunate encounter with Bladen at Clarendon. A gunshot wound can be a tricky thing to recover from, especially when one is so foolish as to travel immediately after.

In answer to your question, yes. Though it would have been better to act now, a month's time should not cause too much of a problem. If you feel yourself ready sooner, of course, we shall be ready to put you into place. Merely send word.

In the meantime, if you have access to the papers, I advise you to learn all that you can of Miss Evelyn Russell. She has been a much loved dramatic actress in London for the past three years. Before that, she traveled with an acting troupe that took her to many cities along the coast. I'm sure you can see how such a life would have put her in the way of being able to hear much information and then pass it on.

Rest while you can, Miss Nelson. You may find the fall season more of a trial than you have yet experienced.

O. Harper
