How to Write Love Letters : LETTER XX. Explaining away an apparent Slight.by Madame le Fontaine (Carleton B. Case, ed)  
Return to "How to Write Love Letters" Index LETTER XX. Explaining away an apparent Slight.LETTER XX. Explaining away an apparent Slight.August 5, 1913. How grieved am I that you should think me capable of wavering in my affection towards you, and inflicting a slight upon one in whom my whole hopes of happiness are centered! Believe me, my attentions to Miss Mason were never intended for anything more than common courtesy. My long acquaintance with her father, and my knowledge of her amiable character, as well as the circumstances of her being a comparative stranger to the Fry's, were my sole reasons for paying more attention to her than I might otherwise have done. Pray rest confident in the belief that my affection for you is as unchanging as my regret is great that I should ever have given you cause to doubt it, and believe me, Dearest Emily, Yours ever sincerely and devotedly, Howard. |
