Dear Courier Editors,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing the lovely, intelligent, articulate Miss Eugenie to my attention through your excellent (if somewhat colonially backward) publication. I have finally found a woman I can relate to - a woman who sees things as I do - in the enlightened manner of the truly blue of blood. I wish to make her acquaintance, if it should so please her to meet a truly aristocratic American. Is it possible you can arrange an introduction, as I feel we could burn our way into literary history together. I can write no more - the lace at my cuffs wilts with the heat of my pulse and smears the ink upon the page.
Your servant,
James Funnymore Cooper
