It was very nice of you to take me into your confidence and I feel immensely honored as well as very happy to know that you are so happy. I hope that he is worthy of such good fortune. This sounds trite and platitudinous but I mean it in its deep and full sense because I cannot think of any man who is fully worthy or could be of a woman of your exceptional nobility of soul and quality. This sounds fulsome and like flattery—but it is neither. It is merely the expression of my admiration for you—which, under these circumstances—I feel that I need not restrain.
I'm glad he is a lawyer and I'm sorry that he isn't a Princeton man. The latter is not so important because you will soon make him one in ideals and purposes—With every good wish and hoping that you are all having a delightful time and that you will remember me to your Mother and sisters, I am
