What does Macbeth send to lady Macbeth in Act 1?

"They met me on the day we won the battle, and I have learned by the most perfect report that they have more in them than mortal knowledge.

While I stood captivated in the wonder of it all letters came from the king, who all-hailed me, 'Baron of Cawdor'; by which title, these weird sisters had just saluted me, and referred me to the future, with 'Hail, king that shall be!' I thought was good news to deliver you, my dearest partner in this greatness, that you might not lose a moment's happiness by being ignorant of what greatness is promised you. Lay it to your heart, and farewell." This paraphrase is from enotes.
