Dear Calliope,

On behalf of my family as well as myself please accept our sincerest congratulations on the birth of Marcus Alexander. I am greatly relieved to hear that you and he are both in excellent health, particularly given the misfortune which befell Zelda. Matilda and I look forward to calling on you to pay our respects in person as soon as appropriate and will await your indication as to the best date to do so.

Sincerely,
Domitian

Dear Father,

Calliope wrote to inform of us of this week's events. Congratulations on the birth of your son. As I expect you will find yourself preoccupied in the coming weeks with the newest addition to your family, Matilda and I would be more than happy to host Bellona in the interim, provided you still trust us to do so after what happened with Camilla. I trust you will not hesitate to let me know if there is any other way in which I can be of service.

Your son,
Domitian

Dear Sister,

I have extended an offer to our father for you to stay with us while Calliope and the baby settle in, and will tell you here I am content to extend the invitation through the remainder of the social season should that suit your purposes.

Domitian
