My dear, Fitzjamie.
As my fellow captain (and, I hope, as my friend) I have come to you to ask… would you officiate my wedding?

…As my equal in rank I should think the duty would fall to you. Besides, I… I would like you to be there.
Yours in fleeting bachelorhood (haha little joke. I’m just so happy)
Francis
Dearest Francis,
It would please me to officiate your wedding, I’m honoured to be part of such an important event in your life, Francis.
It warms my heart to know that… someone said yes. Here’s to your long and fruitful union - however long it may last in these barren, ice entrapped vessels - and may Mr Jopson continue to serve you as a wife as well as he has as a steward.
I’m happy to accept your offer, congratulations once again,
Yours,
JFJ
