Dear Susanna, my eldest daughter,
I am sorry that I have not spoken with you or written a letter to you in a long time. I have been every busy writing plays for the theatre company I partly own, which use to be called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men but in recent times has been called the King’s Men as the King himself gave us patronage. How have you been my darling daughter? I have missed you, your sister and your grandmother so very much. Also your grandfather but there is nothing I can do about that although I know that he is forever alive in our hearts. Congratulations on marrying that fine man, John Hall and my, giving birth to my granddaughter Elizabeth. I am deeply sorry for not being able to make the birth but I am on a very strict deadline and it had to be missed. I hope you will or have forgiven me. How is your sister Judith going? Is she well? I heard she has her eyes set on a man called Thomas Quiney. Do you approve of him, let me know your thoughts please my dearest daughter. How is Stratford-Upon-Avon doing? I may be moving back there soon as London is too overcrowded and I miss being with you and our family. If you need any financial support for help with Elizabeth then would you please write me a letter so I can help as I have made a substantial amount of money from play writing and poem writing. I believe that John has the heart and will to make you into a fine woman. Give my love to your mother, Grandmother and Judith please. I love you Susanna I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
William Shakespeare.
