LETTER LXV. A Lady to her Friend, informing...

Saratoga, September 18, 1913.
My Dear Cora:

You have witnessed the attentions which have so long been paid to me by Mr. Howe, and are of course aware that he has addressed them to me in the quality of a suitor. I can assure you it has not been without the closest scrutiny, both on my part and that of my dear parents, into his moral character, temper, tastes, and habits that I have come to the resolution of becoming his partner for life. His disposition is cheerful, I know him to be a man of the nicest honor; and I rejoice to say, as I have hitherto found, that we seldom fail to coincide in our opinions; which shows, at least, that we are actuated by such a unity of tastes as is calculated to give one every reasonable prospect of enjoying happiness in the married state. The day of our union has at length been decided; and the mention of this brings me to the chief purport of my letter, which is that of inviting you to become my bridesmaid. Allow me to promise myself this favor, which I am convinced you will not refuse after our long friend- ship. The third of December has been fixed upon as the auspicious day, upon which, if you have no other more particular engagement, may I rely on seeing you? An early reply, as you are aware, will be requisite; and trusting that it may be in compliance with my earnest wish,

I remain,
My dear Cora,
Your affectionate friend,

Fannie Folder.
To Miss Cora Crandall
