My love,

I write with fear and the utmost urgency. You and I are now the keepers of a shameful secret which modesty permits me from putting in writing. You must come to me post haste and ask my aunt for my hand in marriage. Else you leave me a ruined woman. Dearest Walter, I know you will do the right thing. 

Your future wife (I hope!),
Marla
