LETTER XXIII. A Gentleman proposing a Day for the Nuptials.

Lexington, August 3, 1914.
My Dear Eleanor:

The happy day to which I have looked forward as the blissful reward of our mutual constancy is not far distant, if the proposal I am now about to make should meet the approbation of yourself and parents. It is this: that our nuptial ceremony may be performed on the thirtieth of the present month, and in the parish church of Frankfort. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you soon; we can then give the subject a lengthened discussion; if, however, you should wish to write before we meet you can mention briefly whether the day I have fixed will suit the convenience of yourself and family; and in the hope that I may claim shortly the privilege of signing myself your affectionate husband.

Believe me for the present,
Your sincerest friend, and most attached,

Nelson.
