My Dearest Martha,
I trust this correspondence finds you in the most excellent of health and spirits during these waning days of autumn. It is with great pleasure and dutiful attention to the celestial movements that I pen these observations regarding the atmospheric conditions which Providence shall bestow upon our fair settlement of Vancouver in the forthcoming week.
As I write by the flickering light of my oil lamp this evening, I am compelled to inform you that the Lord's Day shall bring forth a most disagreeable commencement to our week. The mercurial instrument indicates that temperatures shall ascend to a modest fifty-three degrees Fahrenheit at their zenith, whilst descending to a rather brisk forty-four degrees during the nocturnal hours. I fear that gentle rain shall commence its melancholy descent upon our verdant landscape during the afternoon hours, with absolute certainty of precipitation blessing our gardens and roadways alike.
However, I am most delighted to report that Monday shall present a marked improvement in our meteorological circumstances. Though the morning may retain some vestiges of the previous day's dreariness, the afternoon promises to unveil glorious clear skies, as if drawn back like curtains to reveal Nature's grand theatre. The temperature shall rise most agreeably to fifty-eight degrees, with only the slightest possibility of moisture from the heavens.
Tuesday and Wednesday shall prove most magnificent indeed, my dear Martha! The atmospheric conditions shall remain crystalline and pure, with temperatures reaching a most pleasant sixty-two degrees on Tuesday, and maintaining a comfortable sixty-one degrees on Wednesday. The air shall be remarkably dry and still, providing perfect conditions for constitutional walks through our magnificent Pacific wilderness.
By Thursday, I observe that the celestial dome shall once again don her cloudy vestments, though no significant precipitation appears imminent. The temperature shall moderate to a genteel fifty-eight degrees, accompanied by the softest of breezes that shall scarcely disturb the autumn leaves upon their branches.
I remain, as always, your most devoted correspondent in all matters meteorological and otherwise.
