LETTER LXXV. Lady's Reply to the Foregoing.

New York, July 1, 1914.
Dearest Jasper:

My heart fairly leaped for joy at receiving your dear letter. I was truly rejoiced that you had met with no accident during your long, long ride. Until your letter reached me it seemed almost that you were so far away that I would never hear from you. But I am pleased to see by the date of yours that you didn't allow much time to pass before you wrote to; me. And such a beautiful letter as it is, too. You will think me a silly little thing when I tell you I alternately kissed it and cried over it. Why I should cry I really don't know, unless it is that with our greatest pleasures comes unbidden the thought of their transitory nature, and that we fear to lose the sense of such great happiness. Your kindly flattering allusions to me will have no other effect than to make me strive with all my poor abilities to deserve at least some portion of your warm praises.

I will not ask you to hasten your return, for, judging your feelings of affection by my own, I know you will lose no time in being once more with

Most truly and devotedly yours,

Agnes Clairvoe.

To Mr. Jasper Henderson.
