LETTER VI. Another, more favorable.

Hempstead, July 6, 1913.
Sir:

Although your letter of this morning comes upon me in a strangely unexpected manner, I feel that your intimate friendship with my kind hostess, Mrs. Williams, perhaps excuses a precipitation which could scarcely be justified on ordinary grounds. At the same time, I cannot think of giving a sanction to further attentions on your part, without consulting Mrs. Williams on the subject, and I have, therefore, placed your letter in her hands. I cannot deny that I feel some pleasure in having elicited sentiments from you, which appear to be founded in honorable good feeling, but must, for a time, beg of you to excuse me giving you any further sanction to your addresses. I remain, sir,

Your sincere well-wisher and friend,

Hortense Lamont.
To Mr. Fred. Peck.
