Bab 293: Chapter 297: Cemetery Investigation

Maurice's wife, Mary, stared at the envelope of the letter for a long time before she picked up the letter opener from the side and carefully opened it.

A flimsy sheet of folded paper fell out of the envelope. Before unfolding the paper, the first thing Mrs. Mary noticed was the uneven texture on the back of the page.

It was handwriting—in written with such force that the indentations of the strokes were clearly visible on the back of the paper.

The person who wrote this letter must have been extremely agitated at the time.

Seated in front of the fireplace, the elderly woman slightly adjusted her posture and placed the letter she had finished reading on the small round table next to her. She glanced at the date stamp on the cover of the letter from Frost.

The letter was sent on December 5.

Three days after the first letter was sent—within a mere three days, the late "Brown Scott" had written this second letter.
