Dear Twilight,
I thank you for your vested interest in refurbishing the old castle so soon after your previous excavation there. I didn't think you'd readily accept my request, much less enlist your friends to help, so please extend my thanks to them as well.
You don't know how much this refurbishment will mean to us. It's the last step in helping us bury the hatchet we wielded so long ago, back in a time where our fights were more heated, and our friendship was strained to a breaking point over petty squabbles like who ate the last sugar cookie. Now that we've recovered that friendship, seeing the old castle look new again--or what remains of it, at least--will finally close a millenium-old wound.
But if I might make a suggestion, since you obviously know about all the trap doors and secret passageways, I'd like you to keep those the same. You may modernize the other parts of the castle at your leisure, but keep those hidden hallways the way they are.
I won't go into great detail why, but Luna and I have hidden some things in there that... aren't for your eyes to see, nor your friends. No, it's not another great evil or powerful artifact that shouldn't fall into the wrong hooves or anything exceptionally dangerous. At the same time, they shouldn't see the light of day for... reasons. In other words, some secrets are meant to stay that way, so don't go looking for them during the refurbishment.
In fact, just try to stay out of those hallways completely. I don't want you kicking around loose stones or tapping the walls for hollow sounds, or even stepping on weighted stones that may or may not suddenly open said hollow areas. Don't. Do. It. Just stick to cleaning and touch-up, and everything should be fine.
But if you do stumble across such a room somehow, well, stay out. That's it. Don't enter the room, or even so much as poke your head in. Touch absolutely nothing in those rooms, nor take anything from them if you somehow ignore that last statement. I mean it! Leave everything in there alone, especially the books! They're... not ordinary books, okay?!
Sincerely--seriously, stay out,
Princess Celestia
Yes, I warned her, Luna. Our secret comic book stashes ought to be safe.
Well, they shouldn't have rotted. I vacuum-sealed mine in plastic, and so did you, right?
Uh, no, that sort of protection ward fades after a century without maintenance. I'm sorry, Luna.
Well, I suppose if they haven't found them yet, I can share mine with you. Don't worry--I trust you'll read them without stuffing your face with moon cakes while reading them.
Yes, I'll also take a look and see if they're still sold on the market. Anyway, while we wait for them to finish, let's get started on those pies, okay?

this is for the power ponies episode, or inspiration manifestation?

I'd say it's for the PP episode, while it sets up the plot for Inspiration Manifestation.
5874531
It kinda works for both, but most likely Power Ponies.
5874551
This is completely accurate. Trust me, this letter is NOT for Inspiration.
Inspiration I will handle far differently. It's kinda hard to ignore a town paved with shiny roads and entire buildings surrounded by crystal, isn't it?
No wonder Cadance is getting so many tourists.
Celestia, when are you going to learn. No one listens to a damn thing you say in those letters.
Um -- there are books I don't want you to read..
Um, I can see Twilight *TWITCH* with that one.
Damn. I thought it'd be her porn cache.
Given what happens to Raity in Inspiration Manifestation, THAT'S a blatant lie.
Ouch. Poor Luna. Not even a sprig of mint left in those comics. This is why it's always a good idea to have a nonmagical backup.
I like how at the beginning of S04E06, the mane six were cleaning up the princesses' old castle. I don't know whether Celestia actually ordered them to do it in the actual series, but it's very nice to see that they were tidying up the castle instead of letting it collect dust, leaves, and other stuff. Also, I love how the writers revisited the princesses' castle which was previously shown in season 1 in much less detail and refined it to make it look like an actual castle.

Pretty sure the bits after she signs her name are supposed to be her having conversations with ponies (or others) that aren't transcribed in the letters, like the thing with Luna stealing her cupcakes or cookies a while back. I don't think that actually ever makes it into the letter.
5874699
Not necessarily. She said "exceptionally dangerous". Rarity's rampage was more tedious and annoying than dangerous. Furthermore, the exit conditions for the book are known and easy to reproduce, rendering it relatively harmless.
5874603 ... I'm confused. I remember Spike saying he bought that comic book in Canterlot
Thousand year old comics still on the market? If so, they'd have to bankrupt the kingdom to purchase them.
5875980 actually, I'm betting they'll have to sell those books just to cover the costs of Rarity's antics next episode.
5874691
Thousand-year old pony porn. There's an interesting concept.
5872623 Isn't it physically impossible for a human to keep their amniotic sac?
It's gotta be that embarrassing picture of Spongebob from the Christmas party!
5874691
No, she took that with her when she left the castle.
5875980
Not necessarily. We still have the stories of Hercules and Odysseus. Granted they aren't in comic-form, but the stories still are around and have been for OVER 1000 years by far. I'm sure someone reprinted them at some point.
