Thou is Old English

Personal pronouns in Early Modern English
Nominative Objective Genitive Possessive
1st Person singular I me my/mine mine
plural we us our ours

2nd Person sing. inf. thou thee thy/thine thine
plural or
form.sing ye you your yours

3rd Person singular he/she/it him/her/it his/her/his(its) his/hers/his(its)
plural they them their/theyr theirs

The whole point to this all is that the PLG used the informal pronoun rather than the accustomed formal one. This indicated that she felt the communication was not a formal one. Friendlier. More personal.
