Claire's envelope

I didn't tear the envelope open impulsively.

We documented where it had been found and later opened it with our attorney present.

Inside were three things.

A handwritten letter.

A photograph.

A bank-deposit receipt.

The photograph showed Claire standing beside a woman I didn't recognize.

The receipt documented $180,000 deposited into an account associated with something called Bellweather Consulting.

The letter was addressed to me.

Daniel,
