1. – Violet explains her job, as an Auto Memoir Doll and what that entails. As Violet tells it, it involves writing letters for people who aren't able to do so themselves – either through actual inability to write, or because they're struggling to find the right way to say what they mean. It's Violet's duty to look past what her client says and understand what it is they feel, at least enough to be able to put it into a letter. It honestly kind of sounds like two parts ghostwriting and one part freelance therapist. But Violet seems like she likes it. She also talks about the C.H. Postal Company that she works for, and a few of her fellow Auto Memoir Dolls; Iris, who's working hard to make a name for herself, Erica, who lacks confidence in herself but works twice as hard to make up for it and Cattleya, who by Violet's description, sounds like The Designated Mom of the group. She also offhandedly mentions Hodgins, who she says is their boss, and absently hopes that if she is missing back home that he isn't worrying himself too much about her.
2. – Violet tells the story of her first client as an Auto Memoir Doll and, unfortunately, her first total failure. A wealthy young woman had come to the postal company to request a letter from Cattleya, who was well-known for her love letters. Unfortunately for pretty much everyone involved, Violet was the only one available at the time and hopped to the task. The client had requested a letter in response to a man who had confessed his love to her, and asked that it be a coy, playing-hard-to-get sort of reply, despite the depth of her own feelings for this man. Violet unfortunately took all this at face value and produced a letter that was so straight-forward and demanding it caused a great deal of offense. She recalls seeing the woman burst into tears in the office, weeping that all she'd wanted was to express her love for this man and says that she'd only just then begun to realize how powerful words were – and how deeply they could hurt people, if not used with care.
3. – And since we've heard about her first screw up, Violet decides to dovetail from that into her first successful letter. At the suggestion of Hodgins and the other Dolls at the Postal Company, she'd begun attending a school for prospective Auto Memoir Dolls to improve their skills. It was here that she met a girl called Luculia, who Violet identifies as her very first friend. The two of them worked hard together, but while Luculia graduated, Violet did not, as she had failed to display the ability to understand a client's feelings while writing a letter. Luculia has attempted to help, by offering to write a letter for Violet, but instead their talk had turned to Luculia's home situation. She confessed that her parents had been killed some time ago, victims of a war in their country and her brother, Spencer, had been gravely injured in the same battle. He'd been consumed with guilt and anger over not being able to save their parents, but all Luculia wanted him to know was that she was happy he, at least, was still alive. Luculia left things at that but Violet, finally realizing how she could help, wrote a letter on Luculia's behalf – a simple letter of gratitude, from Luculia to her brother, expression her joy and gratitude that he had returned to her alive – and delivered it to Spencer. The letter allowed the two siblings to reconcile and in return, Luculia showed Violet's letter to their instructor, who was so moved and impressed by the effort Violet had put in, that she deemed her fit to graduate alongside the others, expressing her hope that Violet would one day become an exemplary Auto Memoir Doll.
