My dear Mrs. Mosby,
I am quite ashamed that your most gracious letter has remained so long without a word in return from me. The fact is that in December I was so busy with the many things that pressed me for attention that I made no effort to write personal letters. Immediately after the President’s marriage I went to New York and remained there, doing some special operative work at the Polyclinic Hospital for three weeks. I have just returned and am doing what I should have done days ago.
I was really touched by your beautiful letter, and in replying I am quite at a loss. One Our future looks bright to us; and I feel sure we will be very happy. The one thing that gives me pause is,—sometimes I wonder if I am at all worthy of this wonderful girl. All I can say is—I will do my best— always.
It was so sweet of you to write me as you did. No one ever received a more generous, gracious letter, and no one can could ever appreciate it more than I do.
Very sincerely yours—
Cary T. Grayson
