Coopersville, Nov 15, 97

 

 

My Dear Elizabeth:-

 

I acknowledge with pleasure, receipt of a very neat invitation to attend your marriage and reception.  It is expressing it but mildly to say I was indeed very happily surprised.

 

You have my heartiest congratulations upon the coming joyful event and best wishes for joy and prosperity in the future.

 

If there is anything I can do to assist you – will gladly do so and please do not hesitate to ask any favor, for shall be only delighted to grant any within my power.

 

You are, no doubt, very busy at present and your time is valuable so will not detain you longer.

 

Am always pleased to sign myself-

Your sincere friend

Cassa L. Griffin
