It means 'to send to you,' usually within a letter or package.

It is a little archaic, you don't see that much in modern speech.

"Enclose" is perfectly standard contemporary UK English; "enclose to you" rather archaic. Until quite recently a business letter which had accompanying material would have //enc (one page enclosure) or //encs (multiple page enclosures) under the signature. Also, in the body of the letter, the writer may draw attention to enclosures, often with the phrase "please find enclosed (description of what is enclosed)"



Sure; I see 'enclosed' often, or 'enclosure.'
