Dearest Emily,

Please, darling, take the turtledoves out of the pear tree immediately! The she-dove is insanely jealous of the he-dove, and he is a rake! He will drive her mad cooing at the partridge. Sorry I forgot the turtledove cage. Be a love and return to the pet store for a cage. But no mirrors! The he-dove will flirt with his own image!

Oh, I am so merry that you are merry!

Your well-feathered love bird,
Edward

Oh, Emily, do tell...is this Jackie cute?
