My dear Miss Johnson:
Mr. Roberts and I have planned to have a small group of friends hear "Faust" at the Central Opera House, and we are hoping that you will be one of us. The time is Friday evening, the seventeenth of October. I have been fortunate enough to obtain a box in the parquet, where the eight of us who will comprise the party will be comfortably seated.
If you are free to join us on that evening, Mr. Roberts and I will stop for you in the car at half past seven.
Cordially yours,
Evelyn T. Roberts.
The acknowledgment must be made promptly. The host and hostess must not be kept waiting for a definite reply.
