LETTERS OF THANKS

_For a wedding gift_

The letter of thanks for a wedding gift must be sent as soon as possible
after the receipt of the gift. The bride herself must write it. When the
wedding is hurried or when gifts arrive at the last moment, the bride is
not required to acknowledge them until after the honeymoon. In all cases
the gift is acknowledged both for herself and her husband-elect or
husband.

My dear Mrs. Elliott,

The bouillon spoons are exquisite. It was simply lovely of you

My dear Mrs. Callender,

This is the first opportunity I have had to thank you for your
wonderful gift. But, as you know, our arrangements were
changed at the last moment and many of our wedding gifts we
did not have time to open before going away. So we hope you
will forgive us for the delay.

We are now back in town established in our new home and I want
you to know how appropriate are those exquisite candlesticks.
Mr. Duncan and I are both deeply grateful for your thought
of us.

Yours most sincerely,
Dorothy Evans Duncan.

My dear Alice,

Your handsome Christmas gift is something I have wanted for a
long time, but never could get for myself. The bag and its
beautiful fittings are much admired. I send my warmest thanks
for your thoughtfulness in selecting it.

Very sincerely yours,
Mary Scott.
