I will be delighted to attend, although I will be unavailable until later in the day. I will request transfer aboard ship via HMS Liverpool, if Lt Navyboy can arrange the passage.

With fondest regards for your continuing health
Mrs Gayalondiel Navyboy

Dear Horatio,

I would be delighted to attend, although I may arrive midway in the afternoon and then pop in and out, as I may have other engagements to attend to.

Perchance, what do you mean by "Best clothes", and how will this be enforced? I'm not sure what best to wear for the occasion.

That said, I look forward to the day, and many happy returns.

Lady Ioanite

P.S. Crazy request ahoy! How about fanart of Horatio having a conversation with Dr. Julian Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? (Seriously, he and Horatio can be so alike at times that it's sort of scary).

Bonus points if Bashir's in full Naval Regalia as well.

Dear Lord Smallbridge,
Thank you so much for the kind invitation. Of course, Lord Branwyn and I will attend. I can scarcely believe that you will soon be 234--you wear the years so well. Your remarkable youth must be due to the salutorious effect of the healthy salt air and cold showers on the deck. They have done you more good than a thousand trips to Bath.
Do give give our regards to your charming wife.
With greatest respect and affection,
Lady B.

Dear Lord Hornblower,
I will be delighted in joining your 300 ... no 30 and something bash party.
I will bring some fine Italian wine surely not any French bubbly one!
We don't want to upset You or Sir Bush!
I shall see you then at your wonderful party.
Best regards.
