Pray accept my sincere thanks for your courteous note. I shall be delighted to avail myself of your kind invitation for next week. I have seen Mr. Jefferson in "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Rivals," but if it would suit your convenience just as well I think I should like to see him as Caleb Plummer in "The Cricket on the Hearth," which, I believe, he plays on Tuesday evening.
With many thanks for your kind invitation,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
Maggie Samson.

T——, December 10, 19—.
Dear Daisy:—
Next Friday is my birthday. Mamma says I may have a little tea party, and I am to write the notes of invitation myself. I hope your mother will let you come. We shall have tea at half-past four, and games and dancing after tea. Trusting that you will be able to attend,
I am, your affectionate friend,
Alma Clarke.
