Exchanges of letters between a young boy and young girl concerning their awakening of attachment for each other are called kāma-lekha.

CC Antya 1.141, Translation and Purport

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī gradually informed Rāmānanda Rāya about everything he asked. Hearing his explanations, all the devotees of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu were struck with wonder.

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has explained kāma-likhana in his book Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (Vipralambha-prakaraṇa 26):

sa lekhaḥ kāma-lekhaḥ syāt yaḥ sva-prema-prakāśakaḥ

yuvatyā yūni yūnā ca yuvatyāṁ samprahīyate
