jquery - syntax for appending 2 divs next to each other inside another div

I can't get the jquery syntax to work so that I can append 1 (or more) child div to each parent div that is dynamically generated.

Below is the working code that generates 10 rows (divs) of letters

var alphabet = new Array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J');
$(function() {
    for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
         $('<div/>', {
    id: 'foo',
    'class': 'letters',
    text: alphabet[i],
    css: {  

        'padding-left': '5px',
        'background-color': 'fff',
        'overflow': 'hidden',
        'height': '22px',
        'width': '745px',
    },  
}).appendTo('div#container');
    }
});

How do I add a 'number div' (or 2 divs) inside of each 'letter div'?

I suppose I can use jquery's 'each' function to add divs inside 'letter divs', but I want to find out if it is possible insert a repeating code such as $('<div/>', {... inside the code above. I tried, but there were errors in the code and I don't know enough to tell whether it was not logical or syntaxically incorrect. Please suggest the correct code.

TIA

Well to append another div inside each of those divs you could simply

$(function() {
    for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
         var otherDiv = $('<div/>');
           var  alphabetDiv =  $('<div/>', {
    id: 'foo',
    'class': 'letters',
    text: alphabet[i],
    css: {  

        'padding-left': '5px',
        'background-color': 'fff',
        'overflow': 'hidden',
        'height': '22px',
        'width': '745px',
    },  
   });
   otherDiv.appendTo(alphabetDiv);
  alphabetDiv.appendTo('div#container');
    }
});
