Return to "How to Write Love Letters" Index LETTER LXXXV. Answer Acknowledging the Portrait.LETTER LXXXV. Answer Acknowledging the Portrait.Salem, Oregon, October 9, 1913. The receipt of your charming portrait -- so long looked for and desired -- has afforded me inexpressible pleasure, and I hasten to thank you for so kindly at ceding to my wishes. Believe me that this dear resemblance of yourself shall no more leave my possession than shall your memory be effaced from my heart. I shall regard it as my talisman, deriving from its smiles approbation and encouragement in the struggles of life, and drawing from that sweet, feeling expression which the limner has so faithfully reproduced, sympathy with suffering, and consolation in sorrow. May the happy day be not far distant which will give to me the original of this fair image, is the prayer of Your devoted and affectionate admirer, Alphonse Vincent. |
