I know you have sent me here to further destroy my sin, but I have urgent news. Lowood has been blessed by the devil with a breakout in typhus, and many cases are arising and I fear that I have few days before I am diagnosed with the same fate. One of the girls at school visited her friend at night and slept by her side, but when the morning came her friend was cold and pale and utterly dead. I hope one of two things: that God takes his mighty wrath and strikes down Lucifer, or that death takes me swiftly. This letter contains my goodbyes, in the likely event that I die. I love you mother, and please tell father that I love him. But please do not weep, God will protect me now.
I will see you soon, in the arms of Him.
Love, Mary
