Letters to Downton

by Rome Classified

The correspondence of the inhabitants of Downton Abbey is an intriguing one; defined by lost notes on a bedside table, unsent letters, and scribbled romances on the back of an old receipt. The development of both the servants and the nobility is strengthened through their own words, written whole-heartedly to one another.

Letters to Downton #2

Dearest Mother, Dead Sybil, Father, and my clothes,

This is Edith and I know you might be thinking, "Who's Edith?" so I will fuck your faces off with my nasty blonde hair! Just so you all know, I didn't think Mary and Sybil were my sisters. And I didn't know I was your daughter because I have blonde hair and I am way more annoying than all of you combined.

Mary, oh Mary, you make me feel like an idiot and I can't take it any longer. By the time you read this, I will be certainly dead and you can't do anything about it. Yes, I was the person that had this note in my mouth. I know you expect this note to be on the fireplace or something like that but no, I'm different than the Crawley family. Yes, you guessed right. I'm gay! I love you, Mary and I want to fuck your face more than anything. But, that was before I knew you were my sister. I was planning on being run over by lions at the zoo but it was closed so the hail storm killed me. I don't know how I know this, but I just do.

Good-bye forever,

Edith Crawley

P.S. I will come back as a ghost and haunt you until you piss your pants and die from fright.
