LETTER VII. On receiving a second Letter, after frequent...

Hempstead, Dec. 15, 1913.
Dear Sir:

It is impossible for me to deny that your assiduous but delicate attentions to me of late have confirmed a favorable impression I had formed, but which the suddenness of your address rendered it impossible I could avow. Your whole conduct has been that of a gentleman, and Mrs. Williams' representations are so strongly in your favor that I feel it would be false modesty in me to disclaim a feeling of strong regard for yourself. Let us not, however, be too hasty in our conclusions -- let us not mistake momentary im- pulse for permanent impression; let us rather seek to know more of each other, to study each other's tempers, and to establish that sincere esteem which should, which must, be the foundation of every deeper feeling. I have written to my father on the subject, and as I anticipated he has laid me under no restraint, save of cautioning me not to be hasty in giving that promise, or accepting it from another, which may involve the happiness of a whole life. Meanwhile, Mrs. Williams begs that you will accept a general invitation to her tea-table, to which arrangement, I can assure you, no objection will be made by

Dear Sir,

Yours very truly,
Hortense Lamont.
To Mr. Fred. Peck.
