2. A letter containing professions of love, or a missive of a
sentimental, comic, or burlesque character, sent on St.
Valentine's Day.
St. Valentine's Day, a day sacred to St. Valentine; the

Shakespeare, that on this day birds begin to mate. Hence,
perhaps, arose the custom of sending love tokens at that
time.
