Early Morning, May 24th, 1891

My Darling A,

Please, my love, forgive my delay in announcing the news.

Late in the evening on Saturday, our daughter was born. A beautiful, healthy, hearty girl. What few strands of hair she has are the color of spun gold. Like Rapunzel or any other beauty in a fairytale. Her eyes are unmistakably blue, two tiny sapphires on a perfect round face. She's incredible, August. I thought I understood what it was to love a child, but there truly is nothing like it.

I should like to introduce you both as soon as we can find a time. I haven't a clue what to name her, either. We were so convinced she was to be a son that I abandoned all thoughts of what we would name a daughter. Thaddeus was to be his name and I can think of no adequate female equivalent.

"In case you ever foolishly forget, I am never not thinking of you."

Eternally Yours, F.

F,

I am delighted to hear of your health and, of course, of our daughter's. She sounds lovely. I cannot wait to meet her.

In terms of names — Natasha maybe, or Helene. Those are admittedly literary. If you're looking for something similar to Thaddeus, then perhaps Lorraine, or Julianne, or Margaret. I am not entirely sure.

I look forward to seeing you when you're able.

Yours,
A

My Darling A,

As soon as I read Julianne I knew it to fit her immediately. I had pondered Juliet for a time, however given her tragic end I didn't wish to associate our daughter with the play. Julianne Rhea Selwyn. Oh how I wish she could share your name.

Does next Thursday morning suit you? He has a meeting with his board that cannot be missed. We should have a few hours to enjoy one another's company at least.

Yours, F.
