"It's your da with another letter. Your ma told me you were helping her with her business lately and picking things up fast. I always knew you got your brains from her. Probably for the best because those aren't my strongest thing and they get me into trouble more than they probably should. Sure got me into trouble with that old bird I told you about but your da has kept his nose clean of that for a bit now. Don't you worry."
