I take much pleasure in enclosing a card for a dancing-party we intend giving on the 1st of March, as I have just heard that you were at home again. I hope you will be able to come, and if your cousin, Mr. Stevens, is staying at your house shall be very glad if you bring him with you.

Sincerely yours,
Margaret Winslow.

Dear Mrs. Winslow:—

I shall certainly come to your dance on the first of next month, when I expect to be back from Florida. My cousin is leaving for Europe on the 20th, so I shall not be able to bring him along. With many thanks for your kind invitation and regrets in the name of Mr. Stevens, believe me,

My dear Mrs. Winslow,
Yours obediently,
Harry Winton White.
