Dear Mrs. Whitehall,
I heard you had quite a shock and I’d like to say I’m very sorry your husband was wounded in France. Can you tell him I’m proud of him? Even though he doesn’t know me from the fence post?
Mrs. Vincenzo said you’re feeling low, so I hope this next part doesn’t seem crass given your circumstances. I’m getting married on August 9 in Kansas City (the one in Kansas). Mrs. Kleinschmidt set it up. I think she’s scandalized by my unmarried state, to tell you the truth.
Anyway, I’m writing to cordially invite you. I know you can’t come, but if I could have the world the way I want it, you’d be standing next to Mrs. Vincenzo in a fancy dress, watching me become a Mrs.
If you have any advice about living as a married woman, I’d be glad to hear it.
Regards,
Roylene Dawson
