Dear Father,
I’m going to surprise you very much—I’m engaged to be married to Helen Clinton. We arranged it last night. I am feeling so happy I 10 know what am doing. I do hope you will approve of the step I am taking. As you are aware, I am now making a fair income with every 11 of advancement, and I am sure I shall be ever so much happier married than I am at present.
I have known Helen for about four years. She is the best and dearest girl in the world, very sensible, a good housekeeper, and universally popular. I want you very much to see more of her, and get to like her more and more. She has always liked you, and one of the first things she said after accepting my 12 was "I do hope your father will care for me".
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Your affectionate son,
Jim Brown
