Would you do me the pleasure of asking Mr. Edward May to your dance? He just told my husband that he would be charmed to attend it if I could get him a card, and as he is very fond of dancing, he might be an acquisition should you be short of gentlemen.
I think you have met his married sister, Mrs. Dinsmore, at my house; she is an intimate friend of mine.
Believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
Gertrude S. Boyd.
