I sincerely believe that you will, as you say, make her a good husband. Will endeavor to see your father in a day or tw0, and explain to him what I can afford to do for my daughter. Faithfully yours, Henry Longstreet. 21 1. Answer to No. 209 (Unfavorable). E, June 5, 19--. Edmund Keane, Esq. Dear Sir:--It is my firm opinion that you have been premature in speaking to my daughter as you have done, without previously learning my wishes on the subject. I am very much displeased with her for giving you any encouragement, as she fully understood that it would be contrary to my views were she to do so; however, it obliges me to tell you distinctly that I decline to give my consent to any engagement between you, and am not likely to alter this determination. Yours obediently, Henry Longstreet. 212. From a Gentleman, asking for His Father's Approval to His Recent Engagement. L, August 10, 19--. My Dear Father:--I am not sure that you will be fully pleased with the contents of this letter. I write to ask your consent to my marriage with Miss Ethel Blake. I anticipate all your objections, but hope your affection for Lie will induce you to waive them, and that my dear mother will use all her influence with you in my behalf. Need not tell you how good and amiable and charming Miss Blake is; you have seen enough of her in social circles, in C, to appreciate her many lovable qualities. She will make the best of wives, and your and my dear mother's consent is all I want to complete my happiness. Believe me, my dear father. Your affectionate son, Lewis. 213. Answer to the Above. My Dear Lewis:--B, August 4
