Is the trade off for this note the return of the books? Ellis does, along with a small payment that isn't discussed otherwise.

He reads the letter thrice over. It feels like he's uncovered something deeply personal, though some aspects of her description call to mind aspects of his own life he hasn't thought about in a very long time. The letter is carefully folded, and added to the others.

A few days later, attached to a trio of sketches for fencing:

Wysteria,

I didn't find any of your letter boring. In some ways, I'm sorry I won't be able to visit Bellmoral myself.

But I should apologize, so let me ask a better question: what specific thing do you wish I'd asked you about?

Also, if you could pick between the three styles of fencing. I'd like to replace the rusted gate leading out into the alley.
