_Regretting_

439 Manhattan Avenue,
April 16, 1921.

Dear Harriet:

I am very sorry that I cannot go to your birthday party on next
Friday. My mother is taking me to visit my cousin, so I shall
be away.

Thank you for asking me. I hope you will all have a great deal
of fun.

Sincerely yours,
Frank Dawson.

_Invitation from a parent to a child_

Dear Ethel:

The twins are going to have a little party on Friday afternoon
and they would like you to come. Can you come at three-thirty?

Tell your mother we will arrange that you get home at six.

Cordially yours,
Katherine G. Evans.

_From a parent to another parent_

Dear Mrs. Heywood:

Dorothy will have a birthday on Tuesday, the thirteenth of June.
We are planning, if the weather is fine, to have a lawn party.
Otherwise we shall have it in the house. She hopes that you will
let Madeline come and I am sure they will all have a good time.

If you send Madeline at four I will see that she returns home
at six.

Cordially yours,
Bernice Lawson Grant.

Dear Bob:

Will you visit us on the farm during your summer vacation? Father
has bought me a boat and we can go fishing and swimming. Mabel has
a pony and I know she will let us ride him.

Please let me know if you may come and if you may stay two weeks.

Sincerely yours,
Roger Palmer.

Dear Aunt Louise:

You were wonderful to think of sending me those fine skates for my
birthday. They are just the kind I wanted and I wish to thank you.
I shall take good care of them.

Your affectionate nephew,
