Harker’s letters

Dracula has Harker write three post-dated letters home in order to divert suspicion from himself when the Englishman invariably disappears. The letters are not reproduced in the novel, but I’ve included them in tweets on their corresponding dates.

Explanation:

Count asked me to write 3 post-dated letters, writing as if I'm on my way home. I've just post-marked my own death.

Letter #1:

Dear @MrsMinaHarker, Work with Count is almost done. On my way home! Absolutely nothing suspicious going on at all. Things are great!

Letter #2:

My darlingest @MrsMinaHarker, Leaving Castle Dracula. What a great trip it’s been!

The second letter reaches Mr. Hawkins around July 25.
Letter #3:

Dear, sweet @MrsMinaHarker I have arrived at Bistritz! All is well! Do not be at all concerned about my mysterious delay. *hugs!*

My 3rd letter posts tomorrow. @MrsMinaHarker & Mr. Hawkins will think I'm on my way home. The thought despairs me. Dracula is making me emo.
