Devotedly yours,
Ever yours, etc.

as between husbands and wives or between lovers. Such gushing
terminations as Your Own Darling, Your own Dovey and other pet and silly
endings should be avoided, as they denote shallowness. Love can be
strongly expressed without dipping into the nonsensical and the farcical.

Formal expressions of Subscription are:

Yours Sincerely,
Yours truly,
Respectfully yours,

and the like, and these may be varied to denote the exact bearing or
attitude the writer wishes to assume to the person addressed: as,

Very sincerely yours,
Very respectfully yours,
With deep respect yours,
Yours very truly, etc.

Such elaborate endings as

"In the meantime with the highest respect, I am yours to command,"
"I have the honor to be, Sir, Your humble Servant,"
"With great expression of esteem, I am Sincerely yours,"
"Believe me, my dear Sir, Ever faithfully yours,"

are condemned as savoring too much of affectation.
