My Dear Miss Selwyn:—
Mamma requests me to say that she will be very pleased if you and your brother will join our Picnic party on Tuesday next, the 10th instant. We expect about fourteen people, and we are to start from our house in two open carriages at eleven o'clock. I trust you will be able to come, and that we shall have a very pleasant day,
Believe me,
Sincerely yours,
Hattie Wilson.

Dear Miss Wilson:—
I am so sorry that we are unable to accept your kind invitation for Tuesday next, as we are asked to an afternoon dance at the Belmont Country Club on that day. My brother desires me to convey his regards and many regrets, in which I join.
Believe me,
Truly yours,
Georgiana Selwyn.
