*Sigh* nicely done!

Oh, I love the Aunt Chatty reference! Dear old soul, she's so sweet.
I love Anne and Gilbert. They remind me so much of Lily and James. (Annebert is the best 19th century couple, Jily is the best 20th century couple - I wonder who is the best 21st century couple?)

AWW! You describe Anne's love and joy so well!

That was very nice. My one complaint about AOGG is that we don't get enough Gilbert. This fills the void somewhat. Thank you and well done!

Very beautiful, poetic! I never knew that Gilbert knew such flowery language! But it is just what a girls heart needs!

My deepest compliments on your story!

I think you got their characters and their writing styles really, really well! i love it :)

I am re-reading Anne of Windy Poplars now and felt the need too see if anyone had written a letter from Gilbert to Anne. Finding your little ficlet has scratched my itch. I feel like LMM had written it herself.

I love the letter from Gil even more than the one from Anne! Great writing - this makes me fall for Gilbert all over again!

How beautiful-simply beautiful! I am more in love with Gilbert than ever. I'm sure everyone must be, too. That love for Anne shines so tenderly in every word he pens. I only wonder, though, if Gilbert really would have written like this? He's much more sensible. But of course, his pen must be just right-and you are a wonderful writer! My congratulations to your future beau: what lovely letters he should receive. If you do still write letters, I mean.

I love this!

Love, Evening. :)

P.s. Happy Valentine's day!

Another beautiful chapter! And again, so true to life - I enjoyed the first paragraph where Gilbert tries to sound like the romantic hero Anne dreams of but ends up rationalising that he can speak flowery prose to her in person.

I especially loved that he was thinking about the two children Anne dreamed of and in turn his hopes for them.

When inspiration strikes, I hope you'll continue with this story and these letters. I'm enjoying the flow of correspondence between Anne and Gilbert. As I think I've told you, I never got to read Anne of Windy Poplars but this is satisfying me for the time being. )

Really? Only NOW do I find this lovely, wonderful piece of work? For it is beautiful, touching, and so absolutely Anne-ish and Anne-and-Gilbert-ish-definitely what L.M.M. ommitted in Windy Poplars. I love this, completely love it so much! It does sound like Anne, and it gives me thrills so. I don't have time, so sorry if this is short. But I love it, and you're simply wonderful! I can't wait to read the next chapter, and your future works.

Love, Evening. :)

How adorable! You are a very good writer! I enjoyed reading this so much.

You know, I almost believe that your summary is true! :D You've shaken off the apathy I felt for Anne/Gilbert and revived my long-dormant affection for the two. Beautifully done.

Ohh I like it! I like how she feels like she can see her future kids... I have a confession, so can I *blush*

I think Anne and I would be kindred spirits. Ahh if only she existed :/

Wish I could write as well as you!

Thank you for writing and sharing this - I found it a real delight to read! You kept true to Anne's character and voice and I can easily imagine this being one of her letters to Gilbert. Look forward to reading more of your work in the future!
