Dear Princess Celestia,

It should feel strange to still use your title after the coronation, now that you are retired, but you are still a princess to me. I know it hasn't been very long, but how is retirement in Silver Shoals? I know I gave you a lot of grief when you first announced your intention to step down. But after filling in your horse shoes for this time I understand. Nopony is is more deserving of a rest than you.

Things in Canterlot are going smoothly. You did well in preparing me for the task. The advisory cabinet have been carrying on business as usual without missing a beat. I was worried before about the castle, but the rebuilding effort before the coronation was a boon for the public works sector. I'm actually putting in zoning for 

Look at me going on about work. I'm sure you've had enough princess work for a hundred lifetimes. I guess I was writing more to assure you that everything here has been fine since you left, and there is no reason to worry. Just enjoy your time off. As I said, you've earned it.

That isn't to say you weren't needed here. Your absence is still... sorely felt. You are missed by your subjects. Or are they my subjects now? Our subjects? You are missed. They miss you. We miss you.

I miss you.

I promise I will make time to come visit you. Soon.

- Your Most Faithful Student,

I suppose I should get used to my proper title.

- Her Royal Highness,
