It is with great pleasure that I hear of your graduation this year. It is a fine thing to have so successfully finished your college course.
May I send my heartiest congratulations?
Sincerely yours,

On an engagement
In writing to a girl or a man on the occasion of an engagement to be married there is no general rule if one knows the man or woman. One may write as one wishes.
If a stranger is to be received into the family, one writes a kindly letter.
April 3, 1923.
