Dear Alex,
You would not believe how great I have been feeling these past few weeks. I've woken up each day with such a sense of purpose and just overall happiness, it makes the last few weeks feel like years ago. My father even smiles every time he sees me, he is still not doing so hot but any sign of happiness is a marked improvement. John has been same as always, extremely demanding and showing almost no remorse. I am so happy these days that it dosen't even matter.
I went into London yesterday to go and try and find some new shoes. My current ones have been tattered from days in the fields and I was hoping I could find a reasonably priced replacement. I left after hours of searching only to realize I only had enough money to pay for a pair of shoes similar to the current state of my own. I only share this experience to let you know that money is still extremely tight and that mother is still working in the fields alongside me to try and keep our family afloat.
I hope things are going well for you in America. I heard in your letter last month that you had joined a prestigious up and coming law firm. I am so very proud of you. Your decision to go to school seems like a very prudent one and I am happy for your wisdom and strength in our family.
Sincerely, Cousin Conor
