Dearest Marie

I have so long enjoyed the happiness of being received as a welcomed friend at your respected parents home that I write with the more confidence on a subject of most serious importance to my welfare.

From the meeting of our friendship and observing the thousand acts of kindness which adorn your daily life I have gradually accepted my hopes of future happiness with the chance of having you as my wife.

Believe me dear Marie that this is no boyish passion but the hearty and healthy result of a long study of your disposition.

I shall hasten to the presence of her from whom I shall never be parted.

Your devoted and happy Daddy,
Einard
