Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents Received her letter and was delighted to hear from his "little girley"; there is no use in giving him permission to break their engagement as he loves her too well; as she is so much the younger of the two it is she who might grow tired of the arrangement; "it is my desire and my prayer, with my whole heart, that you may never regret your promise to marry me, and if you are sure that you love me, well enough to make me your life long companion, then you need fear nothing else"; Mrs. B[orgart] spoke very affectionately of her and wondered when they were to be married; Mrs. J.C. Parker is still ill with typhoid fever and he feels very uneasy about her; would like to visit during the week he may see the most of her. 5pp. ALS
