How to Write Love Letters : LETTER LXVI. The Answer, affirmatively, and with congratulations to...by Madame le Fontaine (Carleton B. Case, ed)
Return to "How to Write Love Letters" Index LETTER LXVI. The Answer, affirmatively, and with congratulations to...LETTER LXVI. The Answer, affirmatively, and with congratulations to her Friend on her intended Marriage.New York, September 20, 1913. No one, I believe, can be more desirous to hear of your welfare and your prosperous settlement in the marriage state than myself. I have long been sensible of your worth, your goodness of heart, your rectitude of principle, and your warmth of friendship. Enviable among men will be the lot of him who is destined to become your partner for life; and fortunate, indeed, was Mr. Howe in that introduction which first presented you to his notice. As for Mr. Howe, I need scarcely observe that I approve of your choice, in which you have shown a discrimination that does credit to your taste, and to that good sense which has been the guide of your past life. Your friendly letter, in which you announce your intended marriage, now lies before me, and I must say, that I feel highly favored in your preference of me to become one of your bridesmaids. You could scarcely have proffered any request with which I would more gladly comply. Expect, therefore, to see me without fail on December the third,-- a period to which I shall look forward with some impatience, as the day on which the happiness of a dear and valued friend will, I hope, be consummated. Adieu till then, and believe me to be, My dear Fannie, Yours, most sincerely and affectionately, |
