I shall see you this evening, but let me have one line if possible before then. In the meantime,
I remain,
Devotedly yours,
Albert S. Ormsby.
193. Answer to the Above (Favorable).
H——, November 14, 19—.
Dear Mr. Ormsby:—
You are certainly not fair to yourself and to me when you write that I could for a moment believe you capable of unworthy motives or that you would feign a love not sincerely felt. I have too high an opinion of you and of your principles to be otherwise than flattered by your preference. After this frank confession of regard for me, I will not hesitate to say that I feel well inclined towards you, so well indeed, that I may bid you hope; you must not be too impatient, but give me time to be certain that in marrying you I should be consulting my own happiness as well as yours. Nothing more can be said at present. Believe me,
Yours very sincerely,
Frances Stone Taylor.
