229. From a Fiancée Asking a Young Lady to be Her Bridesmaid.
A——, June 10, 19—.
My Dear Miss Rice:—
My marriage with Mr. Langdon is to take place on the 15th of next month, and I write to say it would give me much pleasure if you would be one of my bridesmaids. I thought of having eight—my two sisters of course, Mr. Langdon's sister and a cousin of his, the two Misses Whetherby, yourself if you will consent, and Miss Mordaunt.
We have not yet decided about the dresses, but I will let you know what we settle upon as soon as I have your answer. We expect Miss Langdon here to-morrow to talk the matter over with us.
With love to yourself and kind regards to Mrs. Rice, believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
Sylvia Marsden.
