LETTER XXXVIII. To the Gentleman.

Newport, September 8, 1918.
My Dear Sir:

You will be delighted to hear that Mamma is every way favorable to our attachment. I say our -- for I now feel under no restraint in confessing that my partiality for you is closely akin to a deeper feeling. Let us, however (as she herself advises), seek to know each other's temper and character more thoroughly ere we take too decided steps. Let us learn each other's little humors and wishes, that we may the better know wherein we have to make allowance for, and yield to, one another.

I trust we shall see my Mamma in a few days, when I am sure her favorable opinion of you will be more and more confirmed.

Believe me, dear sir,

Very sincerely yours,

Dora Upperdyke.
To Henry Van Huysen, Esq.
