Lord Jasen de Winter Duke of Oakdale July 20
My dear Lord De Winter,
I do hope this letter finds you in good health. I have been contemplating sending you a letter for quite some time for there are so many things I wish we could speak of but neither of us seems to have spare time lately. I must admit, I was fool enough to allow myself to think that you had the same sort of interest in me as I have in you. I may be known for my clever mind but I'm afraid I can be quite romantic minded so I made a fool of myself in all of this.
I stand myself corrected as I consider the fact that you never openly expressed any such interest in me of the romantic variety. I do, however, wish to maintain the friendship we had fostered though I must confess, I am still rather smitten with you. As I have been since the day I met you in the marketplace. So, it hurts. More than I thought something could. It seems this letter became much too openly honest. I apologize for that but these were things I needed to say. I'll understand if you simply find me a foolish girl and throw it away.

To Lady Lynesse St. Claire House St. Claire July 22
My Lady Lynesse,
Forgive me for taking some time to reply, I have to admit your letter has somewhat startled me. As you have been honest, I believe I shall endeavor to do the same towards you. While it may seem the opposite, I would like an opportunity to court you, though such chance might have to wait pending the climate of the Court itself. I do not know how aware you are of the ever-changing opinions of the nobles, but I would not risk a courting this time, unless you’re willing to make an attempt despite the possible danger it may bring. If so, I shall attempt to take the risk involved.
Still, the offer of friendship is appreciated and much needed in such a time as this, and perhaps we may be able to chance a meeting during the festival? Of course, time with the family would come first, but both of us should be able to manage a walk, and perhaps, that long expected meeting with our respective family members? I appreciate you taking a minute to express yourself in such terms as you had, for would you not taken a step forward, I admit my observation skills had failed me on the matter of noting an interest taken.
Until such a time that both of us come to a mutual decision, I remain your friend,
