"For now the postmaster understood All's heart and his very soul. After spending but a single night in suspense, anxiously waiting for news of his daughter, his heart was brimming with sympathy for the poor old man who had spent his nights in the same suspense for the last five years." At the end of the story, the postmaster accepts his fault and shows sympathy to Alt. Imagine you are the postmaster. You have just realised what the pain of being away from your loved ones is. You and Lakshmi Das have just placed Miriam's letter on All's grave. Write a letter to Miriam telling her about her father's love for her and how he died. (VBQ)

Answer:

  Dear Miriam I'm an unknown person to you and you will surely be astonished after receiving this letter from me. Let me disclose that I'm the postmaster of the village that is your native place. With great sorrow, I wish to inform you that your father is no more. He died a few days ago. He loved you very much. It was his daily routine to come in the post-office in the early morning. He always had a hope of receiving your letter. But his luck did not help him. It was really difficult for him to live without you. He died waiting for your letter. You sent him a letter, but it was very late. Lokshmi Das, the clerk and I, placed it on his grave to give peace to his departed soul. Now, I request you to come here and visit his grave so that he can get eternal peace. Yours sincerely, Postmaster
