seems to have a piece as a keepsake.
She also seems to have seen it on fire, which must have been a very cheering sight. My migraines are better but not right yet, however I daresay after a little repose my inside will recover itself.

I hope you find a good spot for your holiday & have decent weather
Love from Jack.
