Two Letters to Dr. Sanguis

Feb. 1, 1904

Dear Doctor -  I finally did what you asked in spite of my dear friends attempts to discourage me from the action - I spoke to my parents. 

There is no need to recall the event. They have not forgiven me. 

- Emilia Ratavoloira

Edvard - 
I write this in haste aboard a train bound for a ship that is destined for the New World. I have just left Milan during the Great Expo. Again I attempted a reconciliation with my parents but now have lost that chance forever. 

I learned my parents were in the city and called at our Villa.

My stomach turns when I think on it.... The horrid tableau was grotesque. 

It was a massacre. 

I no longer feel safe on the continent since my family was murdered for what we are. When you receive this I will be adrift on the Atlantic. 

Be well! Good luck with your research. 

This will be my last letter. 

Mia
