Lija,

Oh man I can't believe I didn't hit you up on your birthday. I am sooo sorry and there's no excuse for it. Please, forget my birthday this year.

I'm guessing you got a letter from Harry too about him being shipped off. Um, maybe we should get together to figure out how to handle him when he gets back. I don't think he knows we knew about it. And I know you didn't like doing that to him. But he needed the rest and this was the only way to get him to take it. Otherwise he would have done too much too fast and got himself sick.

Meet me in the pub and we'll waste the night away. Least I owe you.

I love you, Lija. Don't you ever forget it. You're part of my family and ain't nothing that's ever going to change that.

Love,
Karl.
