To my dearest Daisy,
It has been too long since I have last laid eyes on your beauty and grace. Next November marks five years since I have last seen you. I could not take my eyes off of you since the moment I saw you in your beautiful white dress with your matching white roadster. Unfortunately, I waited too long because I heard that you married Mr. Tom Buchanan. My heart broke into pieces; I was crushed. But if it were possible, I would take time itself and set it back in place. I then heard from different sources that at your honeymoon, he was dirtily involved with a chambermaid. If I was your husband, I would treat you as if you were my everything, my world. You deserve anything in the world and I am willing to give it to you. You deserve better than Tom. I have always watched that green light at the end of your dock and hoping that you would just attend one of my parties. They were all for you and they have always been for you. You complete my life, Daisy. Please feel the same way about me.
Yours Truly,
Jay Gatsby

Digging Into Chapter 3: Passage 1
"In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars"
In this passage, the gardens are being described as "blue" which implies that it is night. Usually the night represents mystery and wonder in a novel. Like moths and their attraction to anything bright, the men and girls are attracted to the environment of Gatsby's party. "The whisperings" suggest that there is gossip between the guests. They are sharing secrets with each other whether it's about the numerous rumors about Gatsby or themselves. Although the prohibition is in action, Gatsby's guests do not acknowledge the fact that the alcohol at the party is illegal. Also, the author's connection with the men and girls to the moths imply that Gatsby guests are just careless beings who are constantly intrigued by the fun and champagne. They are only there to enjoy themselves because they are aware that Gatsby is known for throwing extravagent parties. As stated in the novel, most of the guest are not even invited to the party. They're main reason to going is to experience the "whisperings and the champagne and the stars."
