Life is fine for me as of now. I have stayed put in Salem. I hadn’t much to worry about while Hester was still in jail. Though, I hoped she would persevere.       

I am happy to see that over the past few years Hester has carried on with life. Although she is an outcast, she manages to stay afloat due to her skilled stitching. I realize the same she is burdened with. Though, even the governor wears her artistry. If it wasn’t for this unique skill of hers she would surely be in turmoil.

I have heard this rumor of Pearl being some spawn of the devil. I don’t see these people’s reason, but if she is indeed a devil child, than she would be taken away for Hester’s sake. I hope however, even more for Hester’s sake, if the child is innocent, that they would remain together. I know Hester is a great mother, and will be able to support her.
