LETTER LXXIII. Reply to Foregoing.

Huntington, Long Island, March 7, 1914.
My Dear Friend:

I will not deny that I have been much gratified at receiving your kind letter of the fifth instant. I have in common with my dear parents, a very high opinion of your character and abilities. I think it quite possible, that as you have only seen me under very favorable auspices, your admiration for me may wane considerably upon further acquaintance. At balls and parties young ladies, elated with the surrounding gay company and inspiring music, are apt to appear brighter and more beautiful than they really are. I shall be pleased to see you for the present at our house, and at the houses of our mutual acquaintances. But until you have known me longer, and are thus able to form a more just estimate of my worth, I must decline to consider myself as engaged to you.

With sentiments of the highest esteem,

I am sincerely your friend,

Peggy Western.
To Charles Norton, Esq.
