A Gentleman to a Lady
Requesting Permission to Call
Miss Anna:
Having had the pleasure of meeting you once at the house of our mutual friend, Mrs. Green, I venture to write to request permission to call upon you at your own residence. I have been but a short time a resident in this city, but your father will, I think, remember Mr. Samuel Rice of Chicago, who is my uncle. Trusting that you will pardon the liberty I am talking, and grant me a position among your gentlemen acquaintances.
I am, more respectfully,
S. Rice

Reply to the Foregoing
Dear Sir:
It will give me much pleasure to see you at our residence, and my father directs me to state that his recollection of your uncle inakes him very desirous of shaking hands with the nephew.
Yours Truly
Mary Davidson
