Proclamation
Portia of Belmont is seeking a suitor to marry! You are to write a letter addressed to Portia of Belmont courting her interests and desires in order for Portia to select you to be her husband to be.

Your letter is to be a minimum of one page typed or handwritten addressed to the lady in waiting. A messenger will be going to each household on the 17th of April to collect letters from those interested in obtaining Portias hand. Your letter must be appropriate to the time period.
