"I have a letter from your father to write you a letter. When I have some subject to write about, of business or personal, I have no trouble--but to write a letter simply without object save to gratify the party addressed, in this instance an absolute stranger. I confess to a sense of doubt as to its propriety--nevertheless if these few lines are all you want surely you are welcome to them."
