Dear Brian,
I wish we could meet as well, but alas, my father will not permit it, as you are a servant to our family. I have sat alone many nights, thinking of ways to come to you, but they always turn sour. My father is very protective of me, and we can no each other no other way then through these letters. One stolen glance could mean the end of you, and the end of my life here. Please understand this. It kills me to write this to you, but there is no other way.
Love,
Shari

Dear Shari,
I don't care what your father thinks. I need you. Do you understand that? We could just run away. Run away from everyone and everything that stands to hold us back, and to keep us from each other. We were meant to be together, and there must be a way that we can. I will spend my nights thinking of a way, longing for you.
Love,
Brian

Dear Brian,
I need you two, but our lives are so different that it prevents us from being able to share what we both long to have. We mustn't go against my father, for God only knows what he is capable of. I long for your touch, and every time I see you in the house, it breaks my heart. I love you with all my heart, but it cannot be.
Love,
Shari

Dear Shari,
I have found a way for us to be together! My brother has bought me a ticket to New York, and I have told him about you. He has offered to buy you one as well, and plans to hide us from your father. Please say you will accompany me.
Love,
Brian

Dear Brian,
My love, I cannot come with you. My father has promised my hand in marriage to another man. As you know, our family has been close friends with the Carter's for some time. Their son, Nick, is a year older than me, and my father says he has taken a liking to me. He promised Mr. Carter that I would marry him, in the name of business. How can he do this to me? I cry myself to sleep thinking of how I must live with a man I do not love. Please move on with your life, and forget about me.
Love,
Shari

Dear Shari,
I could never forget you! You are the only woman I will ever love. If I cannot have you, I will have no one. Please! There is still time. We can leave before you are to wed this man, and disappear from those that wish to harm us. I can't watch you marry this man whom you do not love. Meet me tonight at the well where we have met many times before.
Love,
Brian
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Shari,
Did you not get my letter in time? I missed you at the well. Please meet me there tonight, as it will be our last chance to run away. I hear the wedding is in two days, so we must leave while we can! Please! I love you too much, I cannot leave you with this tyrant of a man.
Love,
Brian

Dear Mr. Littrell,
Kindly cease writing these letters to my wife. It simply is not proper, and if I hear any more from you, I will be forced to take action against you. She is a married woman, and no longer desires for a man, as she already has one. I plan to fulfil her needs, so kindly leave the area, before some unfortunate incident should occur.
Sincerely,
Nick Carter

Dear Brian,
I am dearly sorry for not meeting you at the well both nights, but my fiancee kept me in the house both nights. He said he, "Wanted to get to know me better before our forthcoming marriage." I detest the man more now, than ever. I long to go with you, but I have been placed under watchful eye these past few days. You must leave without me, and I must end this letter, as I hear Nick returning. I fear he has already found our letters, as he seemed upset earlier today.
Love,
Shari

Dear Mrs Carter,
I am writing to inform you of the unfortunate passing of my dear brother. When I found him lying in a pool of his own blood, with a gun still clenched in his hand, I also found a note. It is enclosed with this letter, and I deeply apologize for the blood stains.
Sincerely,
Harold Littrell

To my love,
You are the only woman I could ever love. Because I could never have you, I could never know another woman. Please understand why I had to do this, as a world without you in it, is no world at all. I hope to see you again someday, but know that I loved you with all my heart, as I hope you felt for me. You are the keeper of my heart, so remember me with happy times. Remember the times we spent together at the old well, or when we used to go horseback riding in the dew covered fields. I still remember the scent of your sweet perfume, and will carry it with me to my grave. I will miss you, but will love you for an eternity.
Love,
Brian

My Dear Husband,
I am dearly sorry for leaving you like this. I could not go on with this marriage. I have left for Boston on the earliest train. I had to visit an old friend, for this marriage to be right. Please understand, and I will return when I feel I can.
Your wife,
Shari
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Mr. Carter,
I must regretfully inform you of the untimely passing of your wife. It was a horrific incident, in which she fell a great distance from a building. It is suspected that she was pushed, as a woman of her stature would surely not try to end her own life. We are deeply sorry for your loss, and we will do all that we can to make this time more comfortable for yourself.
Our deepest sympathy,
The Littrell Family
