11 October
Dearest Margrijt,
It seems indeed that history repeats itself. Mrs. Harker, long-sighted woman that she is, elicited a promise from us today. I have long since sworn to do everything in my power to save her life. Tonight I have sworn to save her soul. To, be all my efforts to no avail, render her the last service. You will say I am only doing this to atone for my sin, and in a way you are right, but I do it also for her; during the course of events she has become a friend I love and admire. I will not fail again.
Forgive me,
Abraham
