LETTER LXX. From a Gentleman Putting off a Marriage.

San Francisco, August 28, 1913.

My Own Dear Jessie:

I have never taken my pen to write to you with such sad feelings as at this moment. You have heard of the bad state of almost every kind of business, here at present. My business has been greatly affected, so that instead of having a few thousand dollars to embark in housekeeping with, it will take every dollar which I can command to save me from financial ruin. My credit is perfectly good, and I could easily borrow all the money I would need for that purpose. But I know your honorable principles too well to suppose that even to consummate the dearest wishes of our hearts, you would desire me to thus procure funds which I can see no certainty of repaying. But keep up your spirits, my own darling; for though the skies are now overcast, I can see rifts in the clouds, through which the blue sky is peeping. Business shows signs of revival, and I shall have kept my credit so well that I can largely increase my business when it is safe to do so. Believe me, dearest, that the instant I can see my way clear, I will visit Victoria, and make you my own true, honorable wife.

Affectionately yours,

Charlie Angelo.
To Miss Jessie Dolora, Victoria.
