My sweet, little Pearl,
How could so much joy come out of such a great sin? You are a blessing that came out of one of my biggest mistakes, but I do not regret it. I know you don't fully understand right now what is happening or why we both are being treated the way we are but I love you more than anything in the world and I won't let anything happen to you.
You must wonder why your mother is shunned from the rest of the world and why she is forced to wear such a strange symbol upon her breast. I know it seems silly but I have learned a lot from this embroided letter A; I have learned things that I can teach you. One day you will understand all of this and it will make more sense but for now we must stay strong together with God.
My little Pearl, you are so smart and the sweetest, little girl I've ever known. It is so hard to shelter you from this bitter world. I want to keep you from the evil on this earth but I know that isn't possible and that bothers me very much. I don't want you to feel the pain that I do. But you amaze me all the time my little, Pearl; like the time when you defended yourself when those children were being mean to us. You are so young, but yet already so strong. I want the best for both of us and I will try my best to take care of you. I love you very dearly.
With love,
Your mother, Hester
