Dear Y/n,
     Hey princess, I know that things have been pretty rough lately. And I'm real sorry for that, I promise I'll come home soon. I miss you a whole lot baby, and I'm thinkin' about you every day. Take care of the gang for me, okay doll? Especially Pony and Darry, keep them from being at each other's throats. I love you a ton, and I can't wait to come back home to you. And don't worry about me, yeah? I don't wanna be the cause of any stress. Anyway, I love you lots.

Hey dollface,
     Sorry I got put in the cooler again, I'm tryin' to be a little better. I hate to admit it doll, but you've got me pretty whipped. I'll be out soon so you better not be two-timing me. See you soon, baby. And if anyone starts puttin' any moves on you, you fight like I taught you.

Dear Y/n,
     Hey baby, I know you're awful worried. I'm with Soda, so I'm safe. And hey, I'll be home soon. Do me a favour - have some fresh chocolate cake when I get home. I miss you, and I'll be home as soon as I can. Please don't worry too much either, okay?
Two-Bit had better not be making any moves on you, he had better just be keeping you company. I trust you though. See you soon, love.

Darry:
Note- You're away at college when he writes to you
Dear Y/n,
     Are you having fun up at college? Man, I wish I could've gone with you. But you know how I gotta take care of my brothers. Anyway, you better be studying hard. I like being able to brag about how smart my girl is. I love you lots, and the whole gang says hi. In a couple weeks I'll have enough money saved up so that I can drive up to see you. Maybe eventually the entire gang will come up too. Anyways, I love you so much, and I'll talk to you soon.

Ponyboy:
Note- He's writing to you for fun because he's bored in class
Hey, babe.
     I'm so bored, it's crazy. The teacher just keeps goin' on and on and at this point, I don't even know what it's about. Man, all I can think about is you. Cheesy, right? I mean, the only thing I knew about love when I met you, was what Soda told me about it. But now... I don't know. Oops, I think he caught me writing. Love you!

Johnny:
Note- He's writing this while his parents are fighting
Dear Y/n,
     I don't know if I'll actually send this to you, but I might. My folks are at it again. The old man doesn't hit her as often as he hits me, but sometimes he does. Sometimes I defend her, or at least try to. But most of the time she just pushes me away, calls me some name and then... So this time I'm not. He doesn't beat her like he beats me, so I don't feel too bad about it. Writing to you helps calm me down, ya dig? I love you so much. I mean, it feels like you're the only person I can breathe around. And you're the only person that doesn't think of me as little kid. I love you for that.

  Hey baby,
     You're so cute! Cuter than Mickey Mouse.hey, I thought of some cool new lines for ya.
     Let's play Titanic, you be iceberg, and I'll go down!
     Or,
     Do you have a bandaid? I scraped my knee falling for you.
     Or,
     If you were a booger, I'd pick you first.
    Aren't they great?! Love you, baby.
