Elias,

Did you know horses and the sea have a special bond? My grandfather has stories about far away lands with myths about the same spirits ruling over the sea that created horses, or those who came out of the water riding on them. I have attached below some facts about horses you probably know already, but thought you may found interesting. [Twelve neatly penned facts about horses from books at the library follow, along with accompanying horse drawings and doodles of various skill.]

Learning is always a gift. I have enjoyed learning in honor of you, even if you learned nothing from this letter. I have attached a gift below for your horses. Seaweed can help horses help with digestion and reduce bad bacteria. Hopefully these seaweed treats will keep their immune systems nice and strong.

Those sensitive in changes to those around them, including those of our four hooved friends, are the same sort of people who are sensitive in changes to the air or the tides. I hope you are taking care of yourself. If you need a reprieve, know you are always welcome.

Yours,

Cordelia Taumata

Dear Joshua,

As I seek to integrate myself into this town as a member of the Stardew Valley community, I find myself wondering where and when I can find the hottest, funniest, most happening members of this provincial community. And while certainly no one has made any recommendation of you as a party guy, I myself see that you are handsome. And thus: I feel compelled to introduce myself.

I am the Marvelous Marcel, known throughout Zuzu City and the rest of the Ferngill Republic for my wonderful magic, everything from slight of hand — using real trickery, not just sliding something down my sleeve! — to genuine potions and spells, I can do everything from saw a woman in half to predict your love life's future. Please, have a visit to my cart. I have attached to this letter a voucher for any of my services, 10% off. Please know I generously have given it an expiration of three weeks, which surely is enough time for you to find yourself in the Calico Desert. I also am selling my own jarred salsas.

I understand you are involved with some sort of ranch work. My, my, your muscles must be big and strong! Please, if you have not adopted a vegan diet by your proximity to cows of all shapes and sizes, allow me to treat you to the finest burger made on my portable grill. Surely, I could afford a house to be built in the valley with luxury grilling accommodations, but I am a man of the people, and a man who likes to drift about this world! Thus, I can set up anywhere for your grilling pleasure. Please be prepared to provide the ingredients. I will bring the wine, my dear!

Stay magic, darling,

Greetings Cordelia,

We haven't met yet, but my name is Emery, and I am Stardew Valley's newest transplant. I moved here from Zuzu City this week because I wanted to be part of a community that is really closeknit and takes care of each other. So you can probably imagine how excited I was when the mayor told me we're doing pen pals!
