modern language has deteriorated so it probably not necessary. Or, modern language is always subject to change and such change may become acceptable. Or, as putting a period here means it represents a diminutive of the original words Mister or Mistress. Or, take pride in the presentation of your letter because the person that you are writing to is worth it
