Dear Friends: For the next twelve days I shall send you a "fun" note which may help you get into the Christmas spirit. This is VERY IMPORTANT; so, don't miss checking your e-mail each day. I know you are not too busy. If you happened to miss a day and can't live without the note, maybe I would be willing to send you another separate note. Ben Brewer Dec. 14, My Dearest Darling Edward, What a wonderful surprise has just greeted me! That sweet partridge, in that lovely little pear tree, what an enchanting, romantic, poetic present! Bless you, and thank you.             Your deeply loving, Emily
