DuffyPoo responded:
> She could have written the letter sometime during her nine-month (I
presume witches ....) pregnancy and left the letter with the facility
she was in.<

Carol:
"Why would she do that, though? Presumably she didn't know that she, a
witch, would die in childbirth (or, technically, moments afterward).
She probably thought she'd be raising the child herself as a single
mother."


DuffyPoo:
Why wouldn't she?  Lots of women start letters/journals/scrapbooks/photo albums/whatever for their babies practically the moment they find out they are pregnant.  Why would Mrs. Riddle be any different?

Carol:
"Why hypothesize about letters when that bit of canon will suffice to explain what Tom knew about his heritage"

DuffyPoo:
Because you're the one who stated that first, when you posted "...she couldn't have written to Tom..."  My response was that she *could* have, that's all.
