my very dear, suppose
you hadn't waited--suppose you'd cut into God's big pattern because
some dark threads had to be woven into it! We shall look at the whole
of it some day--all that mighty, living tapestry of His weaving, and we
shall understand, then, and smile as we remember and know that no one
can have a sense of light without the shadows. Suppose you hadn't
waited? But you did wait--you did--to let me love you.

SEA-ACRES,
MONDAY, June 24th.

YOUR REVERENCE.

I can't say but three words. Don Emory is waiting to post this in
town. I do just want to tell you that if you write any more letters
like that I am _not_ going to break the engagement. You'll get the
rest of this to-morrow. I thought I'd warn you. I am, for sure, yours,

AUGUST FIRST.
