Dear Alice

        If you will not be offended at my calling you so, 
I have long wished to tell you that I loved you; but the 
opportunity has never come in my way. I feel I cannot 
restrain my feelings any longer and therefore employ the 
more feeble medium of a letter for their communication.

        If you should feel the same feelings towards me, 
will you let me know as soon as you can.

        Yours Very Sincerely
            W.H.Pope
	    
	    
        Miss A. Jennings
