EXPLANATION OF GENDERED VERSIONS -- Latin is a gendered language, in that it is much like French & so any kind of pet name (my love, my beautiful, etc) is gendered. There are three genders in Latin (Feminine, Masculine, and Neuter) so there are three different versions of this letter that use feminine/masculine/neuter adjectives for the pet name. The feminine letter is only different in the mythological reference to Baucis and Philemon rather than Patroclus and Achilles which is included in both the Masculine & Gender Neutral version, mainly because I couldn't think of a better myth. There are footnotes in this letter because I (a Latin student) cannot help but use Latin (sue me, I'm doing a Master's in it). I also wanted to explain some of the references so that it isn't loaded with incomprehensible references.
