LETTER XXI. To a Young Lady from a Young Tradesman.

Boston, February 16, 1914.
Dear Miss Meyer:

Since I met with you at Revere Beach, my mind has been constantly filled with the remembrance of the pleasant moments passed in your society. My business has been improving of late, and, in point of prosperity, I have much cause to be thankful. But I feel that there are higher duties in life than can be fulfilled by a man in his single state, and I am anxious to find a companion for my future life. Such a companion, my dear Miss Meyer, I venture to believe I have found in you, and my earnest hope is that you may be willing to appreciate the affectionate regard of one who, however humble in his present position, has every desire to elevate that position for your sake.

Without attempting to use fine language or make a parade of sentiment, I hope you will accept these lines as conveying the plain and honest sentiments of one who, in anxious expectation of your reply, remains,
Dear Miss Meyer,

Your most devoted servant,

Otto Falk.
To Miss Wilhelmena Meyer.
