Ever wondered what was on the letter Elizabeth was reading whilst Jack removed the heart chest from the treasure chest? Sorry its short, and probably not as soppy as it should be.

My darling,

How I await your return, I admit I have longed to hear your voice calling my name from the doorway ever since you returned to your ship.

Even now I wear the ring you gave me; father swears you have given me naught but a curse. Yet I know you will return but I fear it may be too late.

I am ill my love. It started soon after you left I began to cough but I ignored it. Blood came then all was darkness. Father had summoned the doctor I had Tuberculosis. I remember wishing you were here even cursing the fact your love of the sea was more than yours of me.

That was two months ago, and now I am dying. I can feel it in my lungs and heart they are hardened both by illness and your absence. Why haven't you returned? Why?

I must go, I leave you my pendant and these words David Jones, I love you and will wait for you still.
