My Dear Sir and Madame,

I would like to start by congratulating both of you on your marriage. It is only fitting that a gentleman of such grand stature would marry such a fine woman. I am overjoyed to see both of you joined in matrimony, especially after the grievous incident with Lydia and Wickham. After such a heinous offence I was convinced that none of the Bennet daughters would have the slightest chance at being married off, especially with their father's leniency. To be honest I was worried that even I would be affected by even the slightest relation to your sorrow and disgrace.

Mr. Darcy, I am glad to see that you could still find such a prosperous union even with such an unflattering mark in her past. I am sure that you will be perfect example of matrimony for all to see, even if the very noble Lady whom I have the honor to call patroness does not exactly believe so. Also, if your marriage is anything like mine I am convinced that it will add greatly to your happiness. Speaking of which, Mrs. Collins and I are happier than ever. She has been spending an unusual amount of time in her parlor by herself; I am not distressed though, she must have good reason. What woman would not be proud to be the mistress of such a fine house?

As for Mrs. Darcy, I now understand how you could not have been harboring any feeling of attraction towards me when you had your heart set on such a fine gentleman. I am sure that your decision adds greatly to your happiness. Your new living conditions must be quite the improvement from Longbourn. Be assured, Darcy is of such noble stature that you shall live out the rest of your days comfortably as the mistress of such an impressive state as Pemberly.

I also write on Lady Catherine's behalf to inform you that she is beginning to relinquish her feelings of bitterness towards the both of you. Besides, a fine young woman such as her daughter is bound to attract many more agreeable suitors. I would not be the least bit surprised if Anne de Bourgh were to have suitors at this very moment only awaiting Lady Catherine's approval. Speaking of which, I hope you have no ill feelings from when I advised against your matrimony, I was only following my Lady's wishes. Though I advise that you avoid disputing her ever again, she has much power and I can not imagine her being any more forgiving with either of you. But I have always had the utmost admiration for the two of you; I would never plot against either of you on my own accord.

I hope that you we shall be receiving an invitation to Pemberley to celebrate this momentous occasion quite soon, whether it is a grand celebration or a small meeting including only your dearest of friends. In fact, if you ever require our company at all please just write us. You have such a grand estate any time we are allowed to spend there would be a blessing; I dare say it rivals Lady Catherine's Rosings.

I also implore that you travel to our estate, Hunsford. You may visit as often as you like, it is always open to such close comrades. You might even acquire some relationship advice while with my beloved Charlotte. You both also always welcome to come to my church and listen to my sermons. You will certainly find them interesting. I put so much time into them that I am convinced that Mrs. Collins will start to complain because she isn't seeing enough of me!

Most Sincerely,

Mr. Collins

P.S. If you ever need a favor all you must do is ask. I would always be more than willing to help such a dear friend any way I can.
