In Jane Austen's time, letters played a significant role in interpersonal relationships, particularly in the exploration and expression of romantic feelings. Writing letters was an art for which there was a proper etiquette; they were naturally handwritten, highly decorated, and sealed with wax.

This type of letter follows the model known as the "Puzzle Purse," which is a folded letter that reveals a portion of the message with each fold. Reaching the center allowed the reader to access the final message. Its origins likely stem from Japan and the Tatogami technique, a precursor to Origami, and were used by individuals of all social classes as small containers for items such as buttons, pins, needles, clasps, or stamps. It began to be used in the 1700s in England and colonial America as a means to exchange romantic messages. Its folds typically conceal symbolic imagery of flowers, birds, hearts, reflecting the seductive nature of love and courtship. This particular paper-folding technique is also called "letter-locking," referring to the act of folding and securing an epistolary document on a support that serves both as a writing surface and as the envelope itself.
