Randi -> Catie

My Dearest Catie,

I'm sure you can only imagine my joy at receiving your letter this afternoon! It was fetched from the box directly, my having expected it today, so rest assured that no time was wasted from its arrival to my reading it!

While I am glad your family is well, I wish your mother the fairest weather possible. You may not wish my stress, yet I still hope that you and yours are in as little discomfort as possible!

As for your most interesting dream, were I but there! I should have tried, my dearest Catie, to help you gain the affection of the lovely Winchester boys! They don't take in anywhere as near Misters Darcy or Bingley, but they are certainly fine boys nonetheless! The younger Winchester, I've heard, even has a face! Can you imagine!

My dearest Catie, as to your assertions that you shall die an old maid, I should think a lady as pleasantly disposed as yourself should have little problems with finding a suitable husband! I'm certain you shall someday receive an offer for marriage, and I dearly hope that I am there to share in your joy!

I have little to speak of since sending my last letter. I must say that my brother, Jeremy, however, has surprised us all by making friends in a lovely game called Second Life! He is contented to do nothing else save sit in this game for hours, holding conversations with his new friends! And there is one in particular that he quite fancies! Dear Catie, please do not be alarmed when I tell you, this friend is another man! Imagine my surprise when I learned of this friend! I must admit, I was not surprised by this friend's gender, merely that dear Jeremy has actually found someone he can enjoy the company of! I can only say, however, that he is happier than he has been in quite some time, and that is enough for me.

I should tell you that I also enjoy time in this game, and have a character of my own! You should certainly consider trying it yourself! There is no fee for this game to play at all! It can be a trifle difficult on a slower system, but I assure you, it is well worth the trouble!

Dearest Catie, I can hardly contain my excitement! My husband, Michael, has blessed us with most fortuitous news! At his place of employment, as you may know, he was only contracted to remain until twenty and three days from now. Well, my dear Catie, I can hardly contain my excitement when I write, but he has been offered a permanent position with the company! His duties have changed a bit, but I am told they are changed for the better! He is in such high spirits! My dear Catie, I have scarcely ever seen him so well disposed!

This most fortuitous turn of events has also lead to more excellent news! We will not have to worry in a fortnight and a half, when his contract was to be complete, how we were going to cover the costs of living! I can tell you, as I am sure you can guess, that we are both incredibly pleased with this news!

My darling husband sends his regards, and wishes you nothing but joy. Please convey my kindest regards to you and yourse, and my hopes that you all remain in the best of health!

Most Sincerely,

Randiriel
