LETTER LXXIV. From a Lover to his Sweetheart.

St. Paul, Minnesota, June 21, 1914.
Dear Agnes:

I fondly hope that this will find you and all your friends well and happy. I am quite well, but in quite happy; although as far as business is concerned everything has gone on as successfully as I could have desired. Still I feel very sad at being absent from the one whose presence I now feel more than ever convinced is necessary to my happiness. Night and day I fondly recall your dear features, and your ever winning graces of mind and person. Since I left New York I have been obliged to visit many families, some of them possessing daughters of great loveliness and varied accomplishments. But truly, dear, in my eyes all their charms "pale their ineffectual fires" as I recall your manifold fine qualities. Indeed, as the poet says,

"I draw at each remove a lengthened chain." I can now fully understand the mysterious law of astral attraction by which planets, however far removed from each other, never break the azure chain that unseen binds their destinies together.

Let me hear from you as often as you can find time to write. For next to being present with you is the bliss of reading an epistle written by your dear hand.

Eternally yours,

Jasper Henderson.
To Miss Agnes Clairvoe, New York City.
