377. From a Lady, Excusing Herself from Keeping a Dinner Engagement.
B——, December 11, 19—.
Dear Mrs. Wilde:—
I am very sorry to say we are prevented having the pleasure of dining with you this evening, and must ask you to kindly accept our excuses, late as they are. My husband was telegraphed for this morning, and started by the 9:20 train for town, where I fear he will be detained several days.
Believe me,
Very truly yours,
Maria Whimple.
