Starfield:Frankenstein

LETTER 1

To Mrs. Saville, England.

St. Petersburgh, Dec. 11th, 17--.

You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking.
