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.

Dear Edna,

I know Mrs. Hugs has fired you and sent you away from Downton. Let me say this in the nicest way I can. I fucking hate you, you slut! I cannot believe you would fucking try to kiss my beautiful lips! I would have punched your fucking brains out if Carson and Hugs weren't in the other room making out naked in the bath tub.

I will never speak to you again after this letter nor will I open a letter from you. So there is no need to send one. Sybil was the awesomest woman in the world and no one will EVER replace her!

The only man that could ever marry you would be O'Brian and even he is too good for you. My hand hurts horribly now since I had to waste my time on telling you how much I fucking hate you.

With all my love (NOT!),

Tom
