Love letter and kanji 0101 of the KLC

Kanji 101 of the KLC book* is 文 as in my CVS entry for

101,文,writings (learning ; culture) ; letter (script)

but do you know what a SINGLETON is ?

Regardless, this is a kun-yomi singleton in most textbooks : the 訓読み for 文 is ふみ.

But where does such a reading occur ? According to Denshi Jisho it is in 恋文 or love letter as in こいぶみ — which means that our singleton in real life is not ふみ but ぶみ !

So ... if your hiragana is rusty, spend a day or two on that and come back for our story ... it all starts with a love letter.
