| rdfs:comment | - Penelope's letter was a handwritten letter written by Penelope Widmore to Desmond Hume. Penelope hid it in his hardbound copy of Dickens' Our Mutual Friend. ("Live Together, Die Alone") Apparently Penelope understood the significance of this book to Desmond, which he was planning to read just before he believed his life was to end. Therefore the letter was intended as a statement of love and inspiration to be revealed in this deepest moment of despair. Because the book was placed in storage with his personal effects during his incarceration (so that he was not tempted to read the book, and by extension, end his life), he did not discover the letter there.
- Penny had written Desmond this letter and hidden it in his copy of "Our Mutual Friend", as she was aware it was of great importance to him, and that it would be the last book he would read before he died. She wrote the letter before he had been incarcerated by the Royal Scots Regiment and placed in what would be the one place he would turn in a moment of great desperation. Desmond later found the letter inside the Swan Station and it was reading this letter that made Desmond realized how bad his life had gotten. Desmond would later hear Locke banging on the hatch door, and this event restored Desmond's hope. (Live Together, Die Alone)

And I've hidden it in the one place you would turn to in a moment of great desperation. I know you go away with the weight of what happened on your shoulders. And I know the only person who can ever take it off is you. Sorry to be so dramatic, but these are dramatic times, are they not? Please don't give up, Des. Because all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us. and you have her. I will wait for you. Always. I love you, Pen
- Penelope's letter was a handwritten letter written by Penelope Widmore to Desmond Hume. Penelope hid it in his hardbound copy of Dickens' Our Mutual Friend. ("Live Together, Die Alone") Apparently Penelope understood the significance of this book to Desmond, which he was planning to read just before he believed his life was to end. Therefore the letter was intended as a statement of love and inspiration to be revealed in this deepest moment of despair. Because the book was placed in storage with his personal effects during his incarceration (so that he was not tempted to read the book, and by extension, end his life), he did not discover the letter there. It was not until much later that he discovered the letter while in the Swan when he was contemplating suicide after three years living in the Hatch. It was revealed that this moment of crisis occurred at the same time as John Locke was also, in his moment of despair, pounding on the Hatch door. The combination of the letter's discovery and Locke's appearance apparently saved Desmond's life as he rejected the idea of commiting suicide. ("Live Together, Die Alone")
