The action now moves to England, where Mina Murray, Harker's young fiancée, and her friend, Lucy Westenra, exchange a series of letters. In her first letter, Mina mentions that she's learning shorthand to help with Jonathan's work, and gently chides Lucy for not writing her. Lucy responds, describing a young doctor she has just met, Dr. John Seward, who is in charge of a lunatic asylum. Lucy also mentions that she has fallen in love with a man named Arthur. The next letter is also from Lucy, as she describes the three wedding proposals she just received. The first was from Dr. Seward, and she gently refused him. The second was from an American from Texas named Quincey Morris, whom she also refused. Saddened by having to deny these men, both of whom she likes very much, she at last is proposed to by Arthur Holmwood, the man she loves.
After this letter, the narrative is briefly taken up by Dr. Seward's diary. Seward is chagrined by Lucy's rejection, but most of the diary entry is taken up with work notes. He describes an unusual patient, Mr. Renfield, who seems obsessed with some unknown idea. Morris invites Holmwood and Seward, who are all war buddies, out to drink and celebrate Holmwood's engagement.
