How to Write Love Letters : LETTER XXXIV. From a young Lady in Answer to...by Madame le Fontaine (Carleton B. Case, ed)
Return to "How to Write Love Letters" Index LETTER XXXIV. From a young Lady in Answer to...LETTER XXXIV. From a young Lady in Answer to a Proposal for a Private Meeting.Woodlawn, June 5, 1914. I am altogether surprised at the proposal in your letter of yesterday. Although our acquaintance has been of but short standing, I believe my conduct has never been such as to give you reason to suppose me capable of an act which, in my opinion, is equally in- compatible with truth and female propriety. Known as you are to both my parents, I can see no object in your seeking a clandestine interview, and my feelings both for my own and their honor are such as would for- bid my sanctioning any such conduct. What I know of you, however, is so favorable, that I am willing to believe that your intentions ought not to be harshly interpreted. Do not peril that good reputation by a conduct so unworthy yourself. If your intentions be really honorable, I am sure you will find no obstacles on the part of my parents, but I must utterly decline any correspondence of a clandestine character. Yours very truly, Ida Wise. |
